I get what you mean but This must have been a highly tense situation and if as reported that relations between neighbours are not good then it's going to de send into violence

Er yeah. They did make a citizens arrest. There may have been a bit of a struggle though.....

Tourism in Dublin down 20% while everywhere else up 15%.
Last time I visited the Mater hospital it was like the film zombieland. From the time I left the car to the time I got to the front door of the hospital we were approached for smokes and money around 6 times.
Thats a sad situation all round.
I used to like going to Dublin when I was a kid. Now its just a stressful event being in Dublin, now theres nearly a murder for every day of the year.
It makes Glasgow look like a walk in the park.
Is there going a week in this year where there is not going to be somebody butchered on the streets of Dublin.

No there's not. Your post is slightly hysterical.

I might be 1 or2% off on the tourist stats.
As I was typing today, another murder at Fassaugh Avenue Dublin this morning. Stay classy Dublin.

Provide a link from your tourists stats,
Things always seemed better when somebody was a kid/you simply don't notice the things. People generally don't ask kids for money or cigarette's.
Theres being a few murders this year but there hadn't being one nearly every day.

*sigh*
Yet another "Dublin = Scum"
I live "down the country" and I can tell you just as much happens here as Dublin(sometimes a lot worse).

The "scumbaggery" is not geographical.

mrsbyrne · 18-03-2014 09:32PM

I lived and worked in Dublin for more then 15 years and I loved it v much and have many happy memories, and returned to my large rural hometown 15 years ago with my large Northsider husband.
Now this town has its problems mostly teenage delinquency, but the truth is Dublin is now a terrible kip.

Just the Luas from Hueston to. Connoly is enough.
We went up to Mary st to do a bit of Crimbo shopping and my teenage daughter ended up dragging beggars away from me. The were like some kind of zombie army!
Pity really but I spose that's just the way it goes.
Hubby won't go up at all.

And Vice versa.
Lived on Dublin all of my life.
Live in rural location now(10 years) near several towns.
Have seen more scumbaggery here in 10 years than a lifetime in Dublin, including major alcohol and drug abuse in not only juveniles but also adults. Theft is rife and daily.
Assaults, weekly
I could go on and on.

Also "Dublin is a kip"??
Bit of a generalisation there.
As with every capitol city there are dodgy streets, but a kip it isn't.

Anyway, back ot.

Femme_Fatale · 18-03-2014 09:47PM

Nah I don't believe everywhere else is as bad as it can be at times in Dublin - there aren't the numbers for starters. But some people go on about Dublin as if it's Johannesburg, which is amusing.
Overall, I'd bet it's one of the safest capital cities in the world.

Gael23 · 18-03-2014 10:11PM

Someone compared the estate concerned to the Lebanon a few pages back. I doubt that's true but I suppose all such estates have their problems really.

They're harmless. They're not looking to feast on your blood...

Much easier to politely say no to them than the well dressed ladies and gentlemen out drinking last night.

I find a well aimed 'F&CK OFF!' works wonders in such situations.

Just lol.
Your posts about Dublin are extremely ignorant and narrow minded.
I don't understand the mentality of people who like to hate on OUR capital city. Perhaps an inferiority complex, who knows :P

You do realise you're talking about a city of over a million people, right? It stands to reason that most murders would occur in a city that holds roughly a quarter the population of the republic.

Not to mention the majority of murders in Dublin are gang related.
Dublin is actually statically a very very safe city, despite your wrongful assertions.

celticcrash · 19-03-2014 02:41PM

All around the world, people were celebrating Patricks day. Joyful times.

In Dublin a man gets his head bashed in with a golf club.
Than at a parade in Dublin, a Man gets kicked unconscious in front of hundreds of people.

Is it true that Dublin is the murder capital of Europe.

Femme_Fatale · 19-03-2014 02:45PM

I was reading something about the drink-related aggro that's the result of St Patrick's day in New York. I doubt every other St Patrick's day city celebration went off without a hitch, given the amount of alcohol.

Any violence that occurs in Dublin is not a good thing, and the way there is no point for heroin addicts to congregate is not ideal, but it's not helpful to blow things out of proportion either.

E.g. Glasgow is, by all accounts, absolutely lethal in parts.

Stereomaniac · 19-03-2014 02:45PM

I haven't a clue whether or not Dublin is the murder capital of Europe. I haven't a clue whether or not Dublin is even the murder capital of Ireland, for that matter. However, I do know that I used to live there and I felt unsafe during periods when the city centre was heavily populated with drunk people and was always aware of my security within all of this stuff.

Eh, no.
Nor is it the robbery capital.
Nor is it the rape capital.

It is truly saddening that anyone should have such bile in them about any place, that they have to make shíte up about it and then post the made up shíte on the net.

A German couple were viciously assaulted by a gang of teenagers on St Patrick's Day after the tourists told them they didn't have a cigarette lighter. knocked unconscious.

A Brazilian man was viciously assaulted and knocked unconscious on St Patrick`s Day.

I would not call Dublin a safe city, especially if your a tourist.

anncoates · 21-03-2014 05:04PM

The booming tourism industry in West Tallaght will be decimated by this murder.

You said everyday and in every town.

Of course it does in a lot of a cases tourists are killed, how many Irish people have been murdered in the last 3/4 while on holiday /honeymoon or backpacking not including sexual assaults and rapes

Talk about over dramatising something

Give us a break. You don't think a tourist is mugged or assaulted somewhere in the world at least once a day?

You have to understand, these arnt regulars.(The regulars arnt great either) These are the lads from the poor suburbs, the city is just a place for them to go mental in and have a story to tell.

Why are you posting in bold?

There's a full thread about the German couple on the front page. Use it, rather than bumping threads to push your agenda.
