Homeless junky aggression

You rarely see or hear any quiet junkies, they mostly seem to be mouthy, roaring feckers with leather vocal chords and sliotars for gonads, I thought that was meant to be advantageous for life.

wakka12 · 10-07-2019 11:19pm

Agree with that tbh. Used to not have a problem with them and thought they were harmless enough but now whenever you walk by and ignore the begging theyll ask another few times and try to get in your face, and if just ignore it and walk on by them theyll mutter' ah arsehole' or something along those lines, didnt listen out but Im sure it wasnt something friendly, not very nice to be around really.

The Guards aren't interested, end of story. They've neither the ability not the inclination to address the problem. Some form of private security, particularly for the Board Walk and adjacent seating areas should be employed.

These zombies aren't long hanging around private property before they're moved on. They've no such issue on public property because they know the Guards aren't interested

There are gangs killing each other for a share of the patch.
So what hope has a poor unfortunate on the lower echelons
of surviving without robbing,conning or begging?
Not saying it's right, but that's how I see it.

Sam Quentin · 11-07-2019 1:35am

You feel aggrieved by his/her presence.... When he/her made their communion do you think that was their goal in life,.to make you feel like that!?.. look not getting at you,.but it's so foooookin sad for some/most of those guys.

I got zero sympathies for junkies... more so in a country that has it good on social welfare. If they want to re.ain homeless that's on them.

Methadone clinics should never have been put near O’ Connell Street. Junkies and homeless should be moved on by the guards around the city centre. Tourists shouldn’t be exposed to this on a visit to our capital.

Not easy being addicted to anything, especially hard drugs. However, yes we shouldn’t be expected to pay for their bag of smack. Having said that I’ve seen documentaries about the U.S. where junkies get their money from begging, so it’s not unique to Ireland.

I worked in Briodys around 2006/7, that's how I can recall it. The article is from 2010. It could be closed years at this stage.

They're mostly from horrible backgrounds from horrible areas surrounded by horrible people and no one ever really cared about them. When heroin addiction is where you end up I'd probably be pretty angry with the world too.

according to a specialist in the midlands prison (shown on RTE recently). Most of these lads on drugs are not from sad backrounds as you say..lots are bored and do what the crowd do, then it's a gateway drug habit for one please and they're on the smack!

I would have leaned towards your opinion as I've heard of horrendous circumstances which would lead me to drugs to be honest, anything to dull the pain..BUT.. it's not nearly the case according to this lad who see's a lot of it.

I'm sure you'll appreciate it's difficult to avoid being skeptical about that.

There is a clinic on Castle St accros the road from Christchurch and Jurys Hotel. Good area for tourists and addicts to mingle.

Showing our visitors a bit of the auld Dublin charm. The liffey boardwalk is also a lovely spot for the tourists to mingle and perhaps share a flagan.

Personally I don't see a problem with it. I actually admire the more aggressive approach, It shows ambition. I bet they make a ton more money than just sitting in the same spot. I mean, as long as they don't resort to abusive or violent behavior, I'm perfectly fine with it. This approach is accepted with ambitious sales agents in retail or car dealerships, so why not the homeless.

Because the chances of a salesman sticking you with a HIV+ pen which you wouldn't buy is quite minimal.

C'mon, Don't be so precious. When was the last time a member of the public was infected with HIV by a homeless person? I'm not taking about threats or attacks
(Which I'm totally not on board with).

Send me some statistics on when a person was last infected by a homeless person.

I was walking down Dame Street the other evening behind two of them, a man and a woman.

She glanced over her shoulder and saw me and like a reflex in the mid sentence talking to her companion said to me "spare change love" and went back talking to the guy without waiting for a response from me.

She was better than the lad who shouted at me at Jervis Luas stop that he hoped I had no kids who ended up on the street and that I was "a f**king disgrace".
