No go areas you wouldnt go into in cities or towns?

Are you listening to this old biddy yapping on about the "new breed of speed", shes a complete head wrecker.

Rathmullen in Drogheda, never ever.

And it'd be very rarely that I'd walk up Sheriff Street on my own.

I was just listening about a 16 year old boy who literally got the sh*t kicked out of him by a few 20+ year old gougers at 1 in the afternoon on that street for no reason and how even the gaurds dont police it anymore - refering to it as 'murder mile'.

Seriously? God, I know a girl who's moved into an apartment on that very street.

I have a mate who makes it his buisness not to walk down Talbot st from Connolly station under any circumstances because what he says is the amount of scum around that area at all times of the day never mind at night.

Yeah, horrendous. When I get the bus back from Cork on Sunday nights I always get out before O'Connell Bridge. I wouldn't get out at Busarus if you paid me. My mate used to work in Bank of Ireland near Talbot Street. Often she was afraid of her life - in broad daylight. F*cking scum :mad:.

I avoid the very ironically named Sober Lane in Cork. Two lads have been beaten into comas in that area. There are always scobes hanging around there. My cousin lived near it for a while. Several houses in her neighbourhood got their windows smashed. Her flatmate was mugged. If you're not familiar with Cork and you pay it a visit, the area I'm talking about is just over a little foot-bridge from where Grand Parade meets South Mall. It's also near the Fás office and Instinct gay bar. Avoid when you're on your own at night - the side street nearby that is, not the gay bar

What about where the Abbey theatre is there - Would you walk down there? It has to be said you see scum everywhere even in the middle class areas where they are commonly know as 'wannabe scumbags'.......The only real no go area im aware of is Sheriff street.

yeah, sheriff st. is a bad spot alright but abbey st. is fine now since the clinic on it closed down. there's a great pub on it too (the flowing tide)

i'm on that road every day without fail and never had any trouble. seems to have a bad rep for some reason.

its always southsiders who say how dodgy abbey st. is. it's not at all bad. there's far worst places.

What a bunch of pussies. Do yis have your mammies check under the bed for monsters before she tucks yis in too?

God i walked down the street every single night on my own ..... there is a side road if you walk past the fas building as if your heading up to UCC past the quay co-op, where you come to a set of traffic lights (they were doing roads works there for ages) there is a bridge for cars to the right and a pub on the left hand corner... well if you turn left at the pub instead of crossing the road there is a great big hill - i know i know a hill in cork what a shocker - that road has no street lights and its a fairly dodgey area - i wandered onto it walking home from a friend's house one night and i was terrified never ever again
