Why do those sorts hang around that spot in particular? It's one of the few places in town I really dislike walking through.

Possibly historically connected to traffic to/from the Merchants Quay Project (offering services to drug addicts, homeless, hiv cases etc since the 80s afaik)? Either way that whole strip has been trouble for as long as I can remember. If I have to go down that way I'll generally use one of the alternative routes to avoid any run-ins.

I might as well be the one to say it. As I hate sugar coating things (or should I say being "pc" )

city centre, and surrounding areas, have a lot of flats. Sure across the road from the Ilac centre you have dominic street flats. You get scum in these areas.

It's not so much the flats as it is the high density of halfway houses, methadone clinics and drug rehabilitation centres.

Long story short, the city centre gets the vast vast majority of these because politicians and residents understandably doesn't want them in their back yard. The city centre as a voting centre isn't all that organized.

If you doubt me, get on the Red Line Luas. The reason there are so many junkies and scum on it when it goes out to the burbs is because the centres they're referred to aren't in their neighbourhood, but in the city centre.

Yeah but they seem to be there at all hours of the day. It's not just junkies, its all manner of scaries. But yeah, where do you shift the problem to?

Because the non-junkies attend drug counselling etc, halfway houses are also for ex-prisoners, people who've had social welfare interventions etc.

Honestly, ask them, you'll be surprised how few of them are from within a five mile circle of the ha'penny.

Most places outside the city centre have removed public seating etc as a way to prevent the buildup of "undesirables" but unfortunately this doesn't mean that people stay home and start reading books and knitting, they just move to the next most accessible area with seating etc and "amenities" (read shoplifting and begging opportunities) and that is unfortunately the city centre since most of them have free travel.

Who decided to put this facility in the city centre?

It's getting beyond a joke in town now, Zero tolerance policing is the way to go, make their lives a misery instead and give our city streets back to those who work, pay taxes etc.

10 kicks before anyone stepped in?

10 kicks within the blink of an eye, the culprit was Chinese. Martial arts, put two and two together.

Personally I detest any of these disease ridden internet cafés, junkies dribbling and puking all over keyboards, PC's riddled with viruses, spam, leaving your personnal details wide open to pillaging they charge you between 50c and €1,50 for printing out each A4 sheet of paper even if it comes out arseways.

Thanks to netbooks, smart phones and wifi spots these places are becoming less significant in todays society and hopefully some day soon we shall see the back of them.

merchants quay was originally set up by a religious order based on the quays..treatment for addicts and homeless from late 80s, early 90s i think...but the the order has been there for hundreds of years..thousands have been cared for there...and MQI is recognised across the world for its endeavours.

I remember 6 years ago they were all shabby thrown together crap holes with **** PCs and these make shift telephone booths. I'd be afraid to log into hotmail account on them, never mind use them for something important. Thankfully netbooks and cheap prepay mobile broadband has killed most of this.

I do like the really good internet cafes which are designed more like the South Korean PC Bangs. Xtreme Gaming on Liffey Street is the only internet cafe I'd use.

Not long ago there was 4 internet cafe's in Ennis, they varied between €1 per hour to €3 per hour. The €3 was well worth it because scum wouldn't use it, the place was clean and well looked after. The best places will reboot the PC after use swiping any history content. One of the cheaper places got caught for using pirated software and didn't last too long.

So every Chinese person knows martial arts?

havana · 22-05-2011 10:50AM

I'm stuggling to work out how someone being (allegedly) killed by an employee in a shop is the fault of 'junkies', flat complexes and treatment centres???

RIP

It's second nature to them which is one reason I would avoid any sort of confrontation with them.

Dublin city centre is a knacker hole.
The people who stood by and watched should be charged as accessories to murder.

Are you serious? Really? Now maybe if those people somehow helped in kicking him to death then of course they would be accessories to murder. But how can you say that to someone who had no part in the death whatsoever? You're making no sense here.

And on another note, why is the Garda presence around that area, to put it bluntly, so ****ing shít? My mother has to get the bus there everyday after work and after hearing this I'm genuinely very worried for her safety.

m@cc@ · 22-05-2011 12:28PM

Let's just forget about the value of the money involved, it's irrelevant. Kicking someone to death over any sum of money is just abhorrent.

Holy ****...if this is the same internet cafe that I'm thinking of...well a few months ago I was using it and a lad refused to pay for a phone call that he had made. The Chinese guy who works there asked him nicely several times to pay, but he told him to **** off and walked out of the shop. The Chinese guy again tried but saw that he was getting nowhere and thus proceeded to kick the **** out of the lad.
....Can't help but think it's the same guy.

(btw how do you know the culprit is Chinese...where did you hear that?)
