    Do we have to post the details on after hours if we do?

    Yes including this, and also almost the entire suburban area of Northside Dublin, West dublin and North county Dublin including large parts of Southwest Dublin.

    Unless you are fortunate enough to live in one of Dublins few decent estates then this kind of lawlessness is the norm. Albeit not as extreme as this on a day to day basis, but not far off!

    It's a flash mob organised by the tourist office.

    Doubtful, would've been shillelaghs :D

    Can somebody incoporate this hurling action into the Sunday Game opening credits?

    It'd look deadly (excuse the pun) with the Sunday Game theme music playing over it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,007 ✭✭✭Mance Rayder

    That's not a knife that's a spoon!!

    Theres always 2 or 3 Garda standing by the GPO, don't know why they werent there sooner ??

    I get fromm bus from Lower Abbey street, and everyone of them in that video are at the corner by the Londis or the newstand, shouting abuse at everyone, drunk, high, asking for smokes etc etc as seen below...



    One of them I see everyday coming out of his nice house with his manky sleeping bag and "dirty" clothes off down to O'Connell St begging, few hours later you can see him coming back getting changed into his finest trackie n nike gear.

    I am mortified everytime I walk down O'Connell Street and hear the likes of these scum shouting at tourists.

    I am on the dole at the moment (now that college has ended this year) and by god if I didn't have proof I didn't apply for any job you can be sure that my payments would be stopped. How the fúck they get away with it is just beyond me.

    A lot of them aren't on jobseekers, they are on disability

    If you've a drug problem you can get moved onto that

    The politicians are happy to do it, it brings down the long term unemployed numbers

    The city centre is really in a right state these days, I never seen so many junkies walking around in my life one just planted down on the ground off his face outside the jervis center.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭steelcityblues


    Who ordered the removal of the video - the government? Tourism board? Obviously, someone who only wants foreigners to experience a happy clappy, everything's fine with Ireland image.

    Yeah sad but true, I currently live in Ballymun (Handy for College) and a lot of my neighbors are on invalidity. They spend their days screaming and roaming around and their nights partying while their children fly around on motorbikes and smash things.

    I remember once having to go to the community welfare office here and the amount of people who suddenly developed limps on the way into the office was comical. I see them roaming around with cans of cider, not a bother on them, on the streets. I even see them running for the bus! But when they are near the dole office they all have limps.:pac:

    The world is just yuppies and junkies. There is no in-between.
