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

Fortunestown is just a name of the road. Like the M50 or the Tallaght Bypass. There is no estate called Fortunestown.

My image upload won't show for some reason, but if you look it up on Google Maps, it says both Citywest Drive and Fortunestown Lane

BUT the point is, neither of those, are JOBSTOWN.

Seriously, what an earth are you on about? I said lidl was in fortunestown, you said it was Citywest Drive, i corrected you as per THEIR own address

Labre Park - anywhere the google cameras won't go is usually not a lovely place.

@Theshow

I wouldn't even bother.

I have had a read of some of her previous posts which confirmed what i thought. Her way or no way, i'm right, you're wrong blah blah blah

TheShow · 06-09-2019 04:03PM

i know, the clue is in the name FortunesTOWN.:D

Yep, especially when I'm right.

Fortunes or Jobs, the residents have neither.

I was referring to the original post about Jobstown and "they demolished a Lidl FFS" .

Seriously, no need to get so frustrated.

Forgot all about Labre Park. It's a traveller settlement where the dobermans go around in pairs. Am I right?

Ralph Ciffereto · 06-09-2019 04:19PM

I've never seen anywhere quite like Mac Uilliam in Tallaght. I don't know if it's estate residents or from the traveller homes attached, but I was up there on business a while back and there was litereally a stream of rubbish glued to the kerbside (on road, up to kerb height) along swathes of the roadway. Estate seemed heavily foreign.

Whoever is dumping it it is some laziness that residents wouldn't spend all of two minutes with a shovel firing the stuff outside their own house away.

Muirhevmor in Dundalk is also probably the most aesthetically grim estate I've seen.

I always take bad estate stories with a pinch of salt. I have lived for a few years in a place that, if you were to listen to both people from a few miles down the road or even if you look up my hood in the Accomadation forum here, sounds like a cross between The Wire and Shameless. Full of junkies and, I quote, "open air drug dealing" whatever that means. Some people are ridiculously sheltered, worst you'd see here is the odd bonfire, maybe seen a single burned out car in five years. Certainly notice more junkies wandering around in the daytime when the regular folk are at work. A non fatal shooting a while back, if you're not involved you're more likely to be hit by a car than a stray bullet.

In truth I've seen absolutely feck all happen around here. Corpo built area but about 80 to 85 percent private from what I saw on the Pobal website- with houses going for 290k (and presumably much more than that 10- 15 years ago) it doesn't offer the ideal conditions for the welfare warrior to thrive.

I spotted a lad in Muirhevnamor with a f*cking machine gun one night running down a lane from one house to the other. :eek: Looked like an AK-47 or something similar in shape.

That could have been when it was a spillover estate from the north. Little Belfast if believe it was nicknamed. changed a bit now, a lot of decent residents. And no, they don’t carry guns. Council have done a great job on the vacant houses.

Two schools ( one a Gaelscoil) the other got a big extension last year, a mini shopping center ( Dunnes neighergood), parish center, rehab place. There are of course scumbags there, bit it’s generally well settled. Pretty it’s not.wont win any prizes for beauty.

Jobstown ends with the boundary at Jobstown Road. The Lidl in question is not in Jobstown.

Beyond that there are several other estates, including Mountain View, Brookview, which is part of a group of estates known as Brookfield i.e. Brookview, Rossfield and Glenshane. If anything, the Lidl is closer to Brookfield, then Jobstown.

Swiftbrook is a private development, and Russell Court was built as a mix of affordable housing with some social housing mixed in.

None of which is part of JOBSTOWN.

But hey, like I said, don't let that get in the way of the bias against Jobstown.

Don't know what you're talking about. I simply said Jobstown isn't an estate and it not.

I've lived in Sundale for the last 12 years by the way and it is most certainly Jobstown, if it's jot Jobstown then what area is it in?

KingNobit · 06-09-2019 05:39PM

Nah Donnyrbook is definitely worse! Those D4's are something else

It's simpy Tallaght. And the correct name for the "Sundale" estate is Mountain View. If you don't believe me, check the property price register.

No mention of Jobstown in any of those addresses.

For clarity, I don't give a toss where anyone lives. I responded to a post claiming that Jobstown was the most dangerous and anti social housing estate in Ireland, "where they demolished a Lidl, ffs" by simply pointing out that the Lidl in question, is not even in Jobstown, and I'm satisfied that has now been shown.

I passed Fettercairn while on the Red Luas line a few times. I heard stories here that it was quite bad around there with the frequent anti social behaviour in the estate.

Tipp Town,

Shannon Clare,

Shannon Clare.

Shannon’s a town, not an estate. It’s a weird town for sure - no streets, just a crap shopping centre in the middle of a load of housing estates and green areas. Then a load of industrial estates at the edge where none of the employees live in Shannon. The only thing open after 6pm is Lidl, McDonalds, two petrol stations and one pub, which for a town of 10,000 people is pretty bleak. They’re building a cinema at the moment.

But there’s absolutely no dodgy areas in it. Even the halting site up at the Free Zone is clean and causes no problems. I can’t think of a single place in Shannon I wouldn’t walk in alone after dark, although I certainly wouldn’t wear a Rangers jersey there.

Parental control and actual parenting is the key here.

But whatever, the kids get off for being under age, and the parents of scrotes continue to get their benefits from the taxpayer.

Qui Bono?

Mac Ulliam has a huge amount of Africans and travellers.

castletownman · 06-09-2019 09:05PM

I don't make it my business to enter dodgy estates as a rule, so my experience is limited. But the worst I have encountered is Baile Eoghain in Gorey. Council estate full of criminals and just decrepit compared to the other estates in the town. Parts of some of the larger estates in the town have rough enough residents, but Baile Eoghain is more or less chock-a-block.

Another one which comes to mind not too far away form these was Teresa's Gardens on Donore Avenue,

Ah yes, forgot about this place. I remember viewing an apartment beside there years ago and the landlord was practically begging us to take it, knocking down rent/ deposit as he was showing us the place. And of course asking us to ignore the fact that the front door had recently been kicked in. Stepped outside and there were 2 women beating the sh!t out of each other at 2 in the afternoon, one of which was heavily pregnant.

Also remember going to St Mels Park in Athlone and my Dad pointing out two burnt out houses in the estate we were walking through. Apparently the neighbours didn't like each other, and things got out of hand.

I've never been, but a while back a local scumbag was charged with a murder there. The trial is upcoming but the coverage at the time seemed to indicate the victim was a stand up guy, the incident happened as a result of late night noise complaints.

The brother of the guy charged put up a rambling FB status essentially threatening anyone who is calling his brother a scumbag, saying they're only brave because he's off the streets now, that he'd see to them, that sort of ****e.

This bollocks had upwards of 70 Like reacts. Plenty of them from young women.

I just can't imagine too many locales where 70 plus locals would throw their support behind some knacker who stabbed a fella to death in a row over late night noise.
