Dublin - The skid mark of Ireland?

    What an utter kip this place is.

    Brought my nephew to Dublin Zoo today for his birthday and then to do a bit of shopping in the City.

    On our travels we witnessed;

    A junkie shooting up right outside McDonald's in broad daylight. The Gardaí on patrol didn't seem bothered. The streets were crawling with skangers roaring like animals and we even witnessed one lad kicking a 99 ice cream along the foothpath with bits of ice cream flying everywhere.

    We brushed aside the above, but when we came across a middle aged woman defecating into a piece of tinfoil near Heuston Station we knew that was our cue to leave.

    Never again.

    The Zoo was great, the staff there are a credit to themselves. It really is a great place for a day out. Other than that, no.

    Dublin is a grand city. You get scum like that in any major city anywhere.

    It's no wonder you have 5,500 posts in just over a year if this is what you're contributing.

    Well done.

    Come down to Cork

    And as someone suggested, come to Fota.

    Couple of Tigers just arrived.

    No worries!

    You lead a sheltered life if you find someone kicking an ice cream cone down the street shocking. God love you.


    Edit: Obviously you're not a re-reg banned a million times for wasting your free time trolling. The irony.

    Neapolitan probably. How does one kick ice cream and not make a mess of whatever they are wearing???

    As someone who likes Dublin the behaviour that's tolerated by the Gardai and is becoming more and more widespread is depressing. And for what it's worth you don't see that in the city centre of most European cities; you might be able to find it but in Dublin it's simply unavoidable at this stage.

    Well in a city of 1 million people, you were bound to run into all sorts simply by chance of setting out the door particularly on a good day.

    Join the rest of humanity and don't be surprised.

    Enough faux outrage threads here.

    In most cities' main street though you tend to see at least a fundamental attempt to police the problem.

    It's as if the Gardaí (or more precisely, their management) have simply given up on the junkies.
