What can be done to clean up O'Connell Street ?

Jumboman · 07-09-2014 12:38AM #1

Dublin's O'Connell Street is so run down its like one big open air public toilet. Also its basically a no go area after 10pm.

For Irelands main street you think the government would put some effort into maintaining it but they don't.

O'Connell Street should be more like dame street or grafton street.

The street must give tourists a very bad impression of Ireland.

What can be done to make O'Connell Street a Street to be proud of and not a hell hole?

Make it a main road, then there won't be any room for pesky pedestrians to be anti-social!

Starting to think O'CS isn't actually all that bad, despite countless, countless threads to say otherwise.

Draft in a few southsiders?

Hootanany · 07-09-2014 12:47AM

Snipers on the GPO & THE GRESHAM.

It's sad that scum have taken what would be a nice place.

They should sell that knitting needle and sell for scrap.

More cops would be a start but untill laws are changed and the legall system is overhauled in this century we are doomed.

Kids run wild and scum bags that have never worked a day in their life roaming around terrorising good decent people.

In city all the time and have seen some amount of trouble.

Ive walked up and down that street so many nights/mornings at this stage and its been no different then what happens on Grafton street actually ive had more hassle from knob heads going into Dandelion then ive had from anyone on O Connell street.....

Hotfail.com · 07-09-2014 12:57AM

I've never thought O'Connell Street was that bad tbh, I've been in other parts of Dublin which seemed way worse.

wall85 · 07-09-2014 12:58AM

"No go area after 10 PM"

Are you serious.Its perfectly safe. Its not Iraq.

punisher5112 · 07-09-2014 01:02AM

SBeen threatened with a syringe and spat at and had my appearence slagged and other things.

A lot go about their business and may find no hassel or not see things going on but there are things happening but like any city or town its not just Dublin with a problem.

Few weeks ago at 2318 on a Sunday a young man was walking I can only guess home with a box of stuff and a guy came running up to him shouting obcenities and throws 2 punches to back and side of his head. this man that was hit just kept his head down and tried to get away but then 6 scum bags were around him.

Not one person on a very busy O'Connell st helped and he was only spared by a taxi driver shouting stop leave him.

These scum bags then turned on the taxi driver who put himself out there.they didn't account that there was more than 1 and ended up backing down after 1 had a friendly chat in scum bags ear.

they went back down the street smashing glasses and kicking bottles and windows and left to do their thing.

Such a lovely society we live in where these tools get handed everything but still destroy everything for anybody else.

Often stayed in the Kingfisher & Jurys Inn around the corner, love the vibrancy of the area. I'm not blind to the issues that are sometimes there, but ive never had an ounce of trouble there. Would feel safe walking up & down there any time of the day or night

That's funny I have just walked the whole length of it and I still have my wallet, arms, legs, eyes, clothes.
Damn wheres my runners.

Gongoozler · 07-09-2014 01:06AM

This Dublin bashing is getting really fcuking annoying, and very fcuking boring. It's nowhere near as bad as people like to make out. I've walked home after every night out through o Connell St and not once have I seen even so much as a fight. Seriously we don't have a problem here

djflawless · 07-09-2014 01:07AM

This...with some collateral spread equally thru other parts of "the pale"

Fine Gael are great at licking arseholes in Brussels, therefore I see no reason why they couldn't lick O'Connel street clean from one end to the other.

Tail Docker · 07-09-2014 01:11AM

Load of guff. O'Connell st is a bustling hive of activity - the purest capitalist area in the country. Capitalism has some rough edges, but there you go.

You have my full support..........I wish people who repeatedly threaten this would actually go and do it though

fleet_admiral · 07-09-2014 01:24AM

Get rid of the anti north Dublin elements in DCC.

Seriously

Due to what I was in control of at the time I could not but was only ready to jump out and help as if he had been knocked to the ground.

I have been attacked from behind not in Dub but it's not a nice situation to be in.

I am telling how it was and I couldn't believe it when they went and started on the taxi driver as he was twice the guys size for starters.

Glass houses whats that meant to be for have you ever been in a situation like that and have you helped others as I have even when I wasn't on the clock.
