Most dangerous and anti social housing estate in Ireland

Infernal Racket

I only have a couple of experiences of really bad housing estates so I'm interested in hearing from others what their worst experience is. F0r me, Muirhevnamor and Coxs Demesne in Dundalk are absolute **** holes of the highest order, also Dalton Park in Mullingar is a dump but on a much smaller scale. What, I'm your opinion, are the worst estates in the country at present?

The road names start with Sundale, but the Estate name is Mountain View, and always was. Also not part of Jobstown.

Nobody and i mean nobody refers to it as Mountain View. It is known around the area as Sundale but you seem the pedantic type going by your argumentative previous replies to other posters also

the councils are buying up so many houses in new developments that many people will be living next to council tenants in the next few years

Citywest actually starts after Ard Mhor before the junction. It's called Citywest Drive, and the School there is Scoil Aoife, Citywest.

What are ye talking about? Lidl is in fortunestown

Its Citywest. Don't let that put you off one of the buying one of the new 400k houses in the private development that backs onto it.

The new built store is lovely.

It's fortunestown actually and yes the new store is nice there but the clientele are mostly unemployed scum from all walks of life and cultures

I do a fair amount of work out in Tallaght, particularly West Tallaght. While the areas can be a bit hairy (eg The Ruseller or Donomore Crescent) people are generally open enough to outsiders strolling through. Maybe it's just all the open space and views out there at the foot of the mountains and the edge of the city.

Other rough areas can be far more insular, generally the kind full of clowns boasting about their "close knit community", which seems to be code for a distrustful shower of bowsies shooting daggers (and worse) at any car or person they don't recognise. Traditional inner city rough areas are often like this, and Ballymun/Poppintree seems to have an aggro menteller vibe of the same kind. Oddly The Liberties, easily the most close knit inner city spot, isn't particularly unfriendly.

Ballycragh, Dublin 24. Absolute kip house! Unfortunately Firhouse is starting to become a sh!t hole to, especially the parts that are just beside Ballycragh, the Ballycrap disease has spread unfortunately. Anywhere generally where there is social housing is going to be a dump. It's a proven fact, don't buy a house near any social housing areas if you intend to feel safe walking your dog after dark.

Are the lads in Ballycragh still waiting outside Firhouse CS every day to knock the ballix out of you posh lads?

If you ever said to someone from Firhouse that they were part of Tallaght, they'd lose their minds.....LOL

I live in Ballyfermot and it’s calmed a bit in recent times, but my god croftwood and cherry orchard are madness.
Fortunestown Lane is dodgy as hell. And yes the Lidl there is not really city west. Past the roundabout is Citywest, but just about. Just a fancier name for Tallaght.

Oh yeah....(takes giant smug nasal inhalation)..:D

Access to jobs, shops, restaurants and public transport are certainly not third world conditions

. Ahh bless, they fill you with horror and confusion? Would prefer living in a housing estate rather than going down the country disco to get a shift from the second cousin every Saturday. We know what you lot are up to.

Ballybeg in Waterford can be a scary place at times. Just the minority ruining it for a lot of decent people.

Jobstown hands down, they demolished a Lidl FFS.

Jobstown isn't an estate though, it's the size of a small town in itself.

Having grown up in the countryside, my parents large self build detached house is in the middle of protected woodland. We cannot see other houses, own water supply, cannot see or hear other traffic and on a private road. But yet only 15 minutes walk to shop and pubs and main road.

No it's considered fortunestown. You need to travel further on the road go through the roundabout then your in City West.

Moyross is often mentioned but it's too big to really completely write off, st Mary's Park ( Limerick again) looks awful run down but it appears to have quietened down a lot?

O malley Park in Southhill Limerick is a right dump

Darndale/Belcamp are pretty hard core in fairness to them, parts of tallaght and clondalkin crumlin areas too. Ballyfermot was fairly wild.
