Is Dublin really safe? *Read OP for mod warning*

The prisons are already overcrowded with drug dealers muggers. Serious criminals there's no way young lads are going to be arrested for stealing a bike the gardai don't have time or resources to deal with teenagers robbing bikes

We need to build more prisons to build a prison in Ireland takes 20 years. Don't hold your breath waiting for that the problem is Ireland is a rich country with a rising population meanwhile medical and gardai staff nos are about the same as they were in 2008 when we were in recession

Are you conducting a survey on boards here or something, go ask the people you see around the GC dock being terrorised by feral sc*m…

<Mod Snip> Do not discuss a case that is currently before the courts

Mod Snip - Before the courts

Mod Snip - Before the courts

Mod Snip - Before the courts

bull

that's exactly the kind of thoughtless shite posting that gets some one innocent hurt because some internet idiot is too lazy or stupid to understand a very simple concept ,

if people are so interested in being outraged at least be outraged at the facts, they are bad enough , no need to make crap up

hay ho , at least the tourists will feel at home

"Pickpocket gangs are targeting tourist hotspots around the capital, including the likes of the Guinness Storehouse, Temple Bar and Dublin Castle."

Amazed no one has thought of this before.

A relative of mine, a non assertive type it must be said, was followed from Abbey Street all the way to the bottom of grafton street by a roma woman begging for money, before ending by spitting on him.

There's a romanian man that haunts my local vicinity and to say his begging is aggressive is putting it mildly. Fierce angry face when you say no for the umpteenth time. He's about two or three more instances away from getting a free stay in the hospital.

But thats just one cohort of many.

The fact of the matter is that there are less gardai now than in 2008, which is quite the impressive feat considering the unprecedented amount of people that have arrived willy nilly into the country since then.

Add in the bursting to capacity prison system and here we are.

The actual amount of crime and intimidation on the streets is surely multiples of what's reported, into the bargain.

Word is well and truly out, this place is turning into a scumbag paradise and everyone on earth is welcome to the party as if it wasnt bad enough.

There's a reckoning coming for this country in some form or fashion, and rightfully so.

Well now there's more.

Less gardai, no prison space = less people arrested, less of those arrested sent to prison.

The situation is no mystery. Dublin City centre especially is a more intimidating place than before, someone was only saying to me the other day that the mere idea of "going into town" doesn't exist amongst her friends and family anymore.

Again, you look at the basic ingredients, there's hardly a surprise of what you end up with.

Roma aren't Romanian ffs, they can be from many different countries

So non roma Romanians have been going around spitting on people in Dublin?

Agreed. A lot of areas of Dublin are no-go zones at night due to feral scum like that.

Romani, mostly from the UK and more recently Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Romania & Slovenia. (recent EU members)
