    Nope. Overpriced, stinks of piss and the traffic would drive you insane.

    Full of beggars, skangers and junkies.

    The accent is painful to listen to.

    Awful shithole, I'd rather live in Leitrim.

    I'll ask: 'wild European'?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I dunno anymore. Dublin has got a real air of menace about the city center now after the failure to do anything about the drug treatment clinics on the northside near Talbot Street. There is a cluster of them there making the city center a hive of activity for junkies and dealer scumbags.

    I don't feel safe on the nortside of Dublin city center anymore and I really feel for the tourists. It is embarrassing as a Dub and Irish person to see the state of the place.

    But no one gives a sh!t. Not the guards, politicians, judges...so nothing will be done and it will only get worse if that is even possible.

    It's the worst planned city in Europe.

    It's twice the size as San Francisco and has half the population...

    Temple Bar and around Liberty hall always stink of piss. I wouldn't be around much of the rest of the city but those areas are really bad

    As for the place in general. It's mostly fine, junkies and high costs being two of the crap things about it

    If you type that into Google, you'll see various other cities such as Istanbul, Galway, Oslo, Stockholm and Montpellier claiming to be the fastest growing city in Europe. In reality, London is.

    I use to really hate it. I've been seeing a lot more of the outlying areas in the last few years, so I don't hate it any more. Not sure I'd live there though. If I was to live in Ireland again, I think I'd prefer to live somewhere pretty rural, like Clare or Donegal

    i loved it when i was a kid, now a days doh i think its one of the most underdeveloped cities in Europe, its full of scumbags and junkies, the night-life is pretty bad and it seems like a lot of the people are getting nastier and nastier

    London has it's fair share of absolute sh!tholes in it far worse than any housing estate or flat complex in Dublin though it has to be said.

    Manchester is Tallaght times 20 with worse views given all the high rise flats.

    Birmingham is pretty much an enlarged version of Ballymun.
