    That's exactly what someone in Tallaght would say. I don't buy it.

    Thata ridiculous. Tallaght is the size of a provincial city so has good and bad areas like all of them. Have you ever even been in areas like Bancroft, belgard or Kingswood. These are normal estates with normal people in all sorts of jobs (public servants, business men, IT workers, teachers, etc, etc). Your generalisation is off the wall.

    I wouldn't waste your time. Some people think Tallaght is some kind of warzone no go area.

    And i could add at least another 10 estates/area's that are lovely spots to the excellent one's you mentioned

    Echo that, assume the OP was living in West Tallaght area where there are a high number of "marginalised"scumbags. I work in Citywest so know the area well.

    Had to bring a child to the Affidea clinic near the square in Tallaght. Christ what a hole. Junkie zombies stumbling around the whole area. Nearly as bad as Parnell square.

    I know Tallaght a little bit. Never lived there but a college friend grew up there. Drank in the Cuckoos nest a good few times.

    My two cents. It does indeed have some very nice parts. But the crap parts are really crap and there’s a lot of them.

    Funnily enough I had to go to the Affidea clinic in Tallaght too recently . I saw nothing like you did , just people coming off the LUAS , some going to the Square , some to the library and some to the Civic Theatre . Not a junkie in sight actually

    Ps . And some kids from the apartments playing on new scooters and bikes with their parents . Just ordinary life really

    I find a couple bags of potato cubes or wedges from SuperValu solves a lot of these issues. The kids are happy to receive them and they'll key another person's car the next time.

    Feel for the OP and also the next person who is going to try to live there and for any other decent families in the Estate.

    It shows the problem with making Estates half private/ half social.

    Usually one side wins out and it's usually pulled down rather than rise up.

    Does it really make a person a snob for not wanting to buy in an area with a large number of social houses? People are just trying to avoid what happened to OP.

    I'm not really buying the marginalised victims either, maybe the ones who wrecked Lidl in Fortunestown only did it because they were hungry?

    The furthest them lot go is the square. You'd walk it in 15 minutes. Not a worry for them :pac:

    Same thing happened with Tesco delivery drivers. Russell Square seems to be particularly bad.

    Was just thinking this whole thread was about one of them.

    Strange, I've lived in various parts of tallaght for a few years over my life and never had a bother.

    The entire thread is about people from a low income background. It can be dressed up with terms like "social housing estates" and all that but it's pretty clear what people are really getting at. Marganlised yes. Who represents them in the media? Who advocates on their behalf? When things go tits up at the top who suffers? It's always those are the bottom that suffer.

    The building I live in in D24 suffered €1.6 million damage thanks to these poor suffering marginalised people. Biggest mistake of my life moving there.

    I'm from a low income backgroud and grew up in a socioeconomically disadvantaged area (not in Dublin) and don't feel insulted or offended by any of the comments on this thread because neither I nor my family are scumbags.

    Judge people on their character and behaviour rather than excusing them because their circumstances.
    Plenty of people grow up in areas like this without breaking the law, terrorising their neighbours and causing a negative atmosphere.
    We should all be held to the same standard regardless of upbringing and anyone who purposely intimidates & harasses their innocent neighbours are total scumbags, imo. No excuses.

    1.6m in damages, would you get a grip. .
