Lived in both as well as Cork and Galway since moving back to Ireland fulltime. Dublin is by for the biggest ****hole this country has to offer. It has the same bad points the other big towns and cities have in Ireland, just in bigger doses.

I'm amazed that these people managed to build up criminal empires in full view of the law, and it's only now that the law seems to be doing anything about them.

It can be, but at least we can all acknowledge it without getting defensive.

Defensive??? Not really no, I took issue with it being referred to as Stab City.

I am not afraid to admit Limerick has it's problems and it's share of scumbags just like most cities.

Dublin is a fantastic city
go to limerick certain parts, you would be run down by horse and gigs
try shopping in limerick
all the big stores are dotted too far apart
dublin and cork are my favourites
galway another brilliant place

Yes "certain" parts of Limerick which you would have no business being in anyway if you are just shopping.

Having ignored written laws in the past, I would imagine that he wouldn't give a toss about unwritten ones..

True....no point in being in a residential area, for a start! :rolleyes:

The same applies to "certain" parts of Dublin.

I rest my case.

P.S. Some great gigs in Dolan's Warehouse alright

Now can we get back to discussing the single individual in the single article, or do we just write of the thread as a load of bull**** because of pathetic generalisations ?

Yeah, I suppose if Dundon (or the head of any gang, for the matter) was offed then the lower-level gang members wouldn't know what to with themselves, and would give up lives of crime.

Or, y'know, it could get bloodier as several ruthless upstarts try to prove their mettle and take over.

But yeah, your suggestion has merit.

He might have one himself yet, he's pregnant from the looks of it.

I know plenty about it pal. Had the misfortune to go there a couple of times. The main streets are teeming with scum and pregnant teenagers. Sure didn't Lonely Planet say it was best viewed out the rear window.

Lose the condescending "pal".......I don't "pal" with people who are so blinkered and prejudiced.

"main streets teeming with scum and pregnant teenagers", eh ?

Did you ask all the pregnant people that you saw for ID or something ?

And are you capable of judging from a distance whether or not people are "scum", without even knowing a single thing about them ?

You must be an amazing individual altogether.

As for your urban legend, let's have a look at the Lonely Planet website, shall we ?

With flashy developments along its waterfront, new top-end hotels and a splash of style from an embryonic café culture, Limerick is striving to bury its unfortunate ‘stab city’ moniker and join the march of Ireland to the future. Still, it’s easy to see traces of the squalor, as portrayed graphically by Frank McCourt in his novel Angela’s Ashes. Until beautification schemes take hold, the main drag, O’Connell St, remains rooted in the city’s past. But that doesn’t mean you should pass up the Republic’s fourth largest city. It has an intriguing castle, interesting museum and several good restaurants and pubs. Perhaps nowhere else can you so easily sense the Irish transition from old to new.

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/ireland/county-limerick/limerick-city

While it does reference the snide pathetic moniker, it correctly makes no claim that it's justified.

Now any chance that you've gotten the biased chip off your shoulder so that we can actually discuss the topic again without having to listen to your blinkered and ignorant opinion on someplace that you've been "a couple of times" ?

Well my cousin lives there and she confirmed my thoughts. Maybe you are the one who is blinkered pal. I honestly think if Limerick people lost the chip they could start to address their problems.

Amazing.....absolutely no comeback on your earlier Lonely Planet claim......or on the earlier waffle about the pregnant teens teeming......much the same as the skangers I encountered on the Luas last time I was in Dublin, I guess, but hey.....I guess the truth hurts and is best ignored, eh ?

And I've asked you already to lose the condescending "pal" bull****.

Finally, I am addressing "our problems".....by challenging ridiculous opinionated slanders and letting people know the facts....that Limerick is a city with issues the same as every other city in the country.....no more, no less.

Given that both cities have had innocent people murdered (a rugby player in Limerick and a carpenter in Dublin), remind me again in which city a reporter was murdered for doing her job ?

I glossed over your comments about teens and scum because they were rubbish mate. The Lonely Planet quote is correct. You ain't wrong when you say "issues", I'll give you that.

You claimed that there were loads of pregnant teens and scum. I correctly pointed out that you couldn't possibly know.

And wow! You're SOOOOO clever, replacing "pal" with "mate" so that you obliged my request to quit it, but still managed to be condescending! I saw what you did there!

The quote that I posted ? Of course it is - I included a link to it and it's there for all to see.

The "issues the same as every other city" comment ? Thanks for finally admitting it.

EDIT : We're dragging this WAY off-topic, so fun and all as this is, I'm gonna drop it. Waffle away to yourself with your ill-informed prejudices from here on. [hits ignore].

Take a walk down the main street any day like a good lad. The place is wall to wall vermin. Limerick has the highest concentration of social housing in the country and also the one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy. Thems are facts.

Nah. I was clearly referring to my quote about best seen out the rear window.

Same as every other city. Not sure about that mate. Same as Bogota maybe alright.
