Most rundown estate in Ireland?

Back in the day it'd probably be the Ballymun flat complex in Dublin, but that's gone now.

Probably somewhere in Limerick?

Teresa's Gardens, Dublin.

The ones I knew best were Oliver Bond and Fatima Mansions in the 90s. Rough rough rough when I was getting back to Harold's Cross from various parties, but personally can't say I ever had any hassle.

Teresa's is being pulled down by the way. O'Deveney's Gardens runs a close second though.

A few estates near where I live in Clondalkin, West Dublin. Probably not the worst but still not areas you'd wanna raise your kids in

Ballymun is the worst hellhole I've ever seen in my life,but since its gone I'd have to say darndale.

I would go for O' Devaney Gardens too but most of the flats there look like they are boarded up now. Not sure how many people live there. Alan Kelly wanted to refurbish the flats for the homeless people in that part of the city but Christy Burke blocked it, last I heard.
