if there was one place that you had to say you would never EVER go in Ireland because you thought it was the most intimidating place in the country where would it be? everyone has that one place that scares the sh*te out of them and im curious to see where other people think in the country

Err the Mountjoy bathrooms?

I don't to offend anyone with this post, but coming from Dublin, as a child back in the day Ballymun was always seen as the 'ghetto'. I remember playing a football game there. Grand bunch of lads altogether, but before we arrived, we were all sh/ting ourselves from all the stories and myths surrounding the place.

The downstairs toilets in Busaras. If I ever get murdered, I know it will be there.

Ormeau road

Ruu_Old · 29-07-2008 05:49PM

Coole in Westmeath, had to drive through there a few years ago. It was like a scene from a western, tumbleweeds and so forth.

Fratton Fred · 29-07-2008 05:50PM

confessional.

The toilets in Grogans (Dublin).

Actually, even the vicinity of the toilets in Grogans.

Few places in Dublin I wouldn't venture into any time soon.

seriously, how do places become this bad in ireland?

Hyde Road, Limerick City.

I have to drive through it every day to get to work, i would never dream of walking down it any time of the day or night. I used to work near it and its rough as f*ck and it seems that every third criminal in the city comes from that area.

AckwelFoley · 29-07-2008 06:44PM

yer ma's knickers.

Apart from that, i would say... em... flutteringbantams bathroom...

And as in a street.. i would say.. hmm.. anywhere in belfast.. its a stinking rotten smelly dump.

phasers · 29-07-2008 06:48PM

that alley where stabby Joe hangs out

Davidius · 29-07-2008 07:09PM

Well considering that I'm well into my crime fighting career, I don't think anywhere scares me.

Overheal · 29-07-2008 07:12PM

I cant remember what street it is on the outskirt of Dublin City but theres this ominous street sign that just points out to 'The West'

I'd say Waterford City centre but everyone's now moved out to the suburbs.

As a fairly cautious individual i thought itd be bad, but i felt safer walking around in places up there than i do in Dublin City

"feeling safe" is a state of mind.

A hammer in the face is reality

They're all over Dublin! Makes me laugh. Galway? Roscommon? Clare? Sure it doesn't matter where you're heading to, just follow the signs to........The West! :pac:

Latchy · 29-07-2008 07:37PM

Every city and a lot of towns will have parts were one does not feel safe ,We have nothing to fear except fear itself ,although the fear is probably more real in some places more than others.

one the small islands off the west coast e.g. tory in the middle of a huge hurricane would not be too nice

I can tell you're jealous of the fact that I'm in the Justice League. I'd like to Norris do that. Chuck Norris is just a rip-off of Captain Falcon anyway.

Limerick. I wont be visiting my cousin in the near future after spending a weekend there.

Aye, for me it'd be Sandy Row. Although, I like Belfast generally.

Galway/Mayo/Sligo/Roscommon = The Wesht

You have to take the same road out of Dublin to get to all four.

Then they split about 45 mins outside Dublin.

Anywhere in Dublin that has "bally" in front of it. eg Ballymun, ballybrack
