They could deal with every single crime but the crimes you mentioned are fairly minor, public urination and some dry humping. Socially unacceptable during the day but at night you can be sure that one or both of those groups would have turned a simple warning into a diatribe of rights they saw on law and order. So guards tend to keep an eye out for violence and prioritise dealing with that. When I came home after an extended time away I came into Galway on a saturday night and it was mayhem (this was 10 years ago). I hadn't seen anything like it in two months traveling around Europe. But you talk to just about any foreigner and they love that mayhem. It's been wiped out in many countries.

ScumLord wrote: » Yes, and no. In other countries they took the sensible decision to have public urinals available. You simply can't stop people pissing in public when they're drunk, It's going to happen. That's why in places like Amsterdam they have public urinals. I think they even pack them away during the day and bring them out at night. Problem solved.

Almost everyone on the street was polluted drunk, nobody seemed to care, and everyone seemed it normal My girlfriend ( from India) was absolutely horrified , she'd never seen such behaviour. I have many foreign friends and they all say the same thing, Ireland is a good country, but a lot (not all) of the people here behave like children. I suppose my question is, whats gone wrong with this country?? How can people behave in such a way, why dont the police become stricter? why dont people face consequences as such? why is this type of behaviour considered ok

We just love acting like animals and making clowns of ourselves (but we call it "the craic" and wear it like a badge of honour, so it's ok). It's part of the reason i just gave up going out a few years ago, it's simply depressing and ****e.
