Finglas is North West Dublin so either term can be applied.

Ah, I see, so if west Finglas is on the other side of the M50 it is West Dublin and not North Dublin? I wonder how many west Finglas people would say they are from West Dublin and not the Northside???

Not many me thinks and to get back to my off-topic point (sorry OP and mods!) shouldn't the journos refer to these Finglas gangs as West Finglas or Northside gangs rather than West Dublin?

Nah,its nt the m50 that devides finglas its the N1(north road).In actual fact you've got yer West(which is where i live),then west of that you've got the South(where most of the trouble stems from,particularly an estate called Berryfield).Also you've got a little known area called the north which has Dunsoghly estate allthough technicaly its part of The West.Cross the N1 and head east and finglas quickly finds itself becoming glasnevin,amazing really..what used to be known as ballymun avenue is now known as glasnevin avenue and house prices have gone up accordingly.

When people speak of North Dublin, they usually mean Ballymun, Whitehall and out as far as Swords.

I think this is pretty definitive

Should this not be titled "the knacker population of Ireland" ?

thats for political constituencies...not colloquial area names.Your sordid fantasies about Mary Harney have no place in this discussion..

What a moron. Pointless thread. Forward it to your Bebo 'mates' to increase popularity.

A small pony: "Yes yes, I agree totally"
A large bear shaped animal with no feet: "Abso-pos-itively"
Numerous small monsters underneath your bed: "True"

No but if you read the whole thread you wouldnt have had to make that pointless comment. My knickers got in a twist when you decided to be a smart ass towards me (see below)

Meooooow. Relax the cacks, I really dont feel like this kind of crap right now. Im just about to finish work for the weekend and Im not getting into a pathetic slagging match.

And for your own thoughts there, I didnt intend it in a smart way. Mother of God.

I wasnt gonna reply to this thread at all but I feel the need to say "Roish, ive had enough" to CoolSmileyGirl and all her northside-phobic southsider friends!

Ive loads of friends on "the other side" of the tracks and they certainly would wonder about people like her, so you can f**k back off to Foxrock and make sure Daddy has the Beemer ready for 6 when mumsy's home from shopping in Dundrum.....

Kiera · 13-04-2006 04:28PM

Em.... She's actually from Coolock

Yeah, we're pretty hardcore in Rathfarnham.

Nightwish · 13-04-2006 05:18PM

when I lived in Finglas my neighbours referred to it as both North Dublin and West Dublin. I lived in the dodgy part (corner of Cappagh rd and Ratoath rd if anyone knows it). The old people were hilarious "I remember when dis was all fields and we lived in de countrysoyed".

Anyway, this is all irrelevant to the thread. All the stuff the OP said can be applied to many places.

Northsiders its sad that some of these things are true
