Enough is enough? Dublin north inner city crime

That's why a batman type figure is necessary or a team of bat people to be more inclusive 😅

Seriously it feels as if a well funded, well resourced anonymous vigilante with some blind eye turning is necessary with the state things have gotten into.

The rot has been incremental for the last 50 years at this stage...I remember my dad telling me about a gard friend of his he used to play hurling with completely disillusioned with thugs getting off with less than a slap on the wrist and giving them the two fingers on the street the next day after some fairly serious levels of scumbaggery...this was the 70s...

Honestly you'd swear some people never left Ireland reading some of the comments here. Does Dublin have a problem with a small percentage of dickheads ruining it for the vast majority, yes it does but these problems exist elsewhere in Europe and the world. In vast parts of the US the police force have just given in due to violence and crime. Take a day trip to parts of Naples if you want too see scumbagary on a big scale, Paris, Marseille, Brussels, Berlin etc... all have huge no go areas and that's before we even mention parts of south America and the middle east or Africa.

Does the issue in Dublin need solving before it get's worse yes but scumbags aren't an issue that is solely contained to the north inner city.

Dublin is definitely not some perfect utopia but this thread and the other kip thread just reminds of Homer in NYC episode of the Simpsons.

If you want to hate somewhere then you will only see the bad. And there is bad. But I'm in the city centre once a month on average wining and dining, going to matches etc and I've never had a bad word said to me.

But if something awful happened me then I'd probably have a different view. That poor American tourist can rightly hate Dublin for life. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

The judicial system has a lot to answer for as well. Scrotes going in and out of the system is a money spinner for many. Would make you think they have a vested interest in repeat offenders.

That and social housing too close to city centre. No way that should continue. Should have been knocked and relocated to the outskirts years ago.

This I agree with but look at the big development in Donabate ( 1200 houses ) for an example.

The proposal was for exactly what you propose, 50% for private sale, 25% affordable, 25% Social.

Sinn Fein blocked it for years looking for more social and affordable.

We will end up with ghettos with SF policy but they're probably just telling everyone what they want to hear to get votes.

They're for build to rent in the north but against it in the Republic. Why ? They're in government in the north.

Don’t you come in here with you’re common sense posting.

I have been living in D1 for over 20 years. It has become horrible and is getting worse.

I haven't been to any major developed city that has anything as bad as the north quays and behind, that close to a city centre. It is the city centre. Nothing like it off Oxford St, Champs-Elysees, Alexanderplatz, Times Square, Plaza De Mayo in Buenos Aires, La Rambla, Trastevere...

Dublin though

Its so bad, we're closing areas of the city now.

How can the Minister say Dublin is a safe city, its not, this gang of 20 ferral teenage scum have been attacking people in the inner city for no reason over a few weeks now if not months.

Get the Public order unit vans out and about and get a Police presence felt, get in the faces of these scum, start stop/searching them for articles involved in crime.

And the chief suspect is a 14 year old , something seriously has gone wrong with our society, where are the parents?

Arrest them all and get them before the courts with bail/ curfew conditions.

An Ukrainian actor was glassed in the face a few weeks ago when he wondered onto the Boardwalk after being in a production/play in the Abbey theatre, would not surprise me if this is the same gang who attacked him.

Get these scum off our streets ffs. Wake up AGS, DCC, Dublin Chamber of Commerce, North inner city TD'S.

An entirely, depressingly predictable response from our justice minister. Dublin is a lovely city and and it’s not her fault that crime exists.

People here have had their theories or suggestions, while the main issue is, like so many areas of our public sector, there is no willingness to try anything.

The country is fast becoming a toilet and our government doesn’t seem to care.

Link?

They have the same warnings for almost every country.
