    There's nothing funny about it really. I have family who live close to that area where the truck was driven around and the two little girls and some of their friends would have been going to the kids club at that time this morning. The truck overturned in someone's front garden. That area has a large concentration of young families.

    It looks totally stupid on the videos, 2 dodo's took a skip lorry when the guy went in for a breakfast roll!!!

    That said,it's 2 brain dead idiots in charge of a powerful machine that they haven't a clue about! The driver guy is probably out if a job too over a stupid lapse of judgement.

    Thank God no one was killed.

    And before everyone slates Clondalkin, There are some fantastic people living there.

    Sepp Blatter is elderly. Jimmy Saville was elderly. In fairness though, they didn't live in Deansrath.

    If we want Facebook stuff, we'll go to Facebook. Personally, I don't.

    In the videos, it's not just going round Deansrath, it's on the main Nangor Road?

    I'm A Clondalkin woman born and raised.

    My parents still live there as do many friends and many many good people.

    I don't judge people by their postcode, everyone is individual. Take as you find

    I was brought up to respect others. It's served me well.

    Those type of sneery condescending comments always say much more about the person making them than those they are directed at.

    What a waste of Garda time.... :cool:



    No...? Never mind, so... :o

    God no. That's a good story for the next night out in Coppers.

    I was raised in the kip. Apart from some of the estates in the village, the place is a dump. Plenty of good people living there, a lot of my friends and family still do, but it is still a dump.

    Trucking hell, those lads are going to be in a lorry trouble. Hopefully they don't skip bail and flip off out of clondalkin.

    I'm calling you out on that.

    Lots more nice areas in Clondalkin than a few estates in the village.

    Then your idea of a nice area and my idea of a nice area are two vastly different things. But each to their own, if you're happy to still live in the area then that's all that matters.

    It's a grand area if your used to it, but even in the village the amount of tracksuit wearing teenagers is madness, especially on a Tuesday evening

    If you define living in a lovely mature settled estate like this in a 4 bed semi with a garage is living in a kip, then you must have won euro millions or something. I'd love to aspire to your standards and bow to your Superiority.

    Lived there from the late 70s to late 80s. It was a kip then. Drugs, car theft blah blah blah. No smart phones or internet then, so we like to think this **** has only started recently. The village used to be nicer, but went south years ago.

    If your house has no side alleyway, you might as well be living in poverty.

    Ppffft.

    1600 sq ft and one bathroom?

    When does the remainder of the house arrive?

    When you live in a kip, I suppose you should count yourself lucky to have an indoor toilet.

    This is a wonderful moment of insight, that I think we should consider tonight.

    Rather than judge, reach out to a Cork person.

    Village is full of posh wannabe **** :D

    If we could nuke everyone past the Canal. Call that part the ghettos (green park, the nogue, dutch village etc) and we could be happy then with less scum on our street.

    One thing about being raised a West Dub, is that you always call a spade a spade.

    Can I ask Nodin if and why you think it is ok to mock me or use my post and honest opinion as fodder to get a cheap laugh?

    Please explain your comments.

    For the craic?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,185 ✭✭✭jobless


    nothing wrong with clondalkin, just the minority of scumbags that live there...
    all joking aside though it was lucky no one was hurt... I hope they caught them..not that they'll get properly punished

    For the craic?

    Is that a response to my post? though I suppose the question is really directed at the person (nodin) who made the post in the first place.

    Just so there are no misunderstandings, I won't tolerate anyone sneering or mocking me or my opinions for "the craic " or indeed for any reason. No one is qualified to do that either In daily life or on here irrespective if they have 4 posts or 40,000.

    I'm obviously mistaken and have taken it up wrong, so will wait for clarity before jumping to conclusions.
