    What has happened to this country?

    We have drug wars in Dublin, gang wars in Drogheda and now armed patrols in Longford.

    Rent prices in Dublin averaging around €2,000 a month and €1,500 for the rest country, child care about the same. The banks not seeing people who are paying that every month capable of paying a cheaper mortgage. People waiting years for live saving operations and the elderly being plundered of their homes to pay for care in their later life. Dead patients left to rot on hospital corridors.

    The country is a total mess and all this government sees as an issue is climate change because apparently 8% is a wave and want to tax the feck out us more, when there is nothing more to give and send us into the biggest recession this country has ever seen.

    When will this madness stop?

    Drug dealers, travellers and drug dealing travellers I believe.

    The central bank imposed rules on banks, no more 100% mortgages.

    Because their children don't want to look after them directly.

    Supposedly we must embrace all these misguided souls and show them love.....
    Ummm very interesting so when I've a blade or syringe for instance put to me..... A) do I give them a hug or B) give them a bigger hug and a kiss because this is exactly the way I see it as the cops(Garda) can't do sh1,t or want to do feck all to be honest in my experience....

    I can tell you all here though I've had enough and I've had enough in work also and have already been made an example of not taking any of this sh1te.... I will do whatever is necessary and protect my family and myself whatever it takes that I can do myself....

    Well we need something other then the way it's going ,.

    I do not believe in bombing or terror acts whatsoever by the way.


    Maybe better laws, actual proper sentences, judges that actually live in the real world and not the lovely bubble they live in, prison that can hold the inmates and if not get the finger out and build the super prison we were promised....

    2 billion on a children's hospital when they could have done in a much better place but could you imagine they actually tackled crime and did build a proper prison to house the scum

    Zero accountability in this kip. The scumbags are now well aware of this and are running the show. Also add litter pretty much everywhere across the country. Depressing times.

    You cant really blame the Government for everything. Its a fruitless exercise. Society begins with the individual citizen.

    Not sure if lawless is the right word to describe the problems that you highlight, but they are problems to be sure.
    Most of these have deep structural roots, and the poster who mentioned the electorate voting for FF/FG over again is not wrong.

    I wish I had the solution but I don't.

    It's not just us, Britain is in a right mess.
    And it says a lot when they seem so enamoured with our political representatives, compared to their own pig trough that is currently British politics.

    Most non white collar crimes are caused by recidivist criminals that often started commiting in their teens. Many of these crimes occur while out on bail. The problem is the actual length of time spent behind bars for serious crimes is too short, and for petty(ish) crimes it's not a deterrent. The jails are full and so we've got a revolving door prison system. Moreover victims of these crimes are treated woefully by the system. We have no accountability by the Gardai to do their job, and the judges are basically untouchable. At least politicians are answerable to the voters, judges are not fit for purpose in the last century never mind this one.

    And hundreds, maybe thousands, of sex offenders in religious and secular institutions and in victims' own families and homes, many of whom went unpunished. A golden age it was.

    There never was such a thing as accountability here.

    All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
