Woman stabbed near IFSC

So, nobody cares that a woman was attacked, it's about the identity politics of who did it that mattered?

But seriously, just look at how knife crime is out of control in London. We could have learned from the UK but we didn't and now it's just a matter of time before we have similar issues.

I do hope she pulls through.

I'm not surprised with the dregs of society in the city, Dublin is a cess pool.

Should be regular patrols on foot or better bike.

Going by fast in a car isn't much use if you see one at all.

Hope the scum are caught. Same area that deliveroo guy got killed by the teenager in a car.

I hope she pulls through and has no lasting physical issues (the psychological scars will last for years).

Garda should have stop-and-frisk powers. I assume now this robber was a known criminal.

Absolute dive of an area. The IFSC is a facade for that sits amongst some very real social problems.

Plenty of scrotes about. This is not one bit surprising.

Some very ropey specimens boarding the luas between The Point and Abbey St.

Are the problems in the IFSC (I know there are apartments there) or what's around it?

Imagine paying a quarter of your income to rent in Dublin?

Glad I live in the countryside.

Someone might have reasons, limited options, the problem on the other hand is lawlessness everywhere in this country,

I dont think just prison is the solution, needs to be prison and rehab,
At some point, dangerous people need to be locked up, either rehabilitate, reform or remain locked up for the duration of sentence.


So, 10-22-100, or however many multiple convictions, attendances at court, concurrent sentencing (why?), sentences reduced by being set from the time of arrest or something? basically it appears if it takes 2 years to bring a case and a person gets 2 years, that appears to be it or very similar, early releases,
I'd say we need 2 new prisons in the country, build and run them, transfer all prisoners there from Mountjoy, overhaul that and just keep locking scum up for crimes instead of reduced sentences and early release, keep them off the streets/away from society where they can commit crimes against law abiding people.

vicious assaults on the streets of dublin have been going on since the days of the Vikings - and the area around the IFSC has been a problem area since the days of Monto.

I went to school not far from there in the late 80s / early 90s and even then you wouldn't walk those streets on your own

Is there a capital city in the western world where random violence isn't a problem ? to be clear - the knife crime problem in dublin isn't anywhere near levels of that in London.

Independent

Senior sources say that the thug demanded money from the woman who is an office cleaner and originally from Asia.

However he then stabbed her in the neck without warning in an incident that caused huge blood loss.

The male then cycled from the scene towards the Quays without obtaining any money from his victim.

Despite the horrific nature of her injuries, the woman remained conscious and was able to call emergency services from her mobile phone.

Gardai and ambulance personnel were quickly on the scene and she was rushed to the Mater Hospital where she underwent life saving surgery late last night.

This ****er should be charged with attempted murder and suspected hate crime..

That poor woman, hope she makes a full recovery

No real consequences in the country for any level of crime.

It's 2020 and we still can't manage to take fines at source out of social welfare payments. Instead back to court, two guards to bring them up to the joy and a few hours later they're on the bus home!

Cause of all of this?

Enabling.

aka
punished by rewards

The IFSC is a privately controlled area, there are cameras all over it. Guards are always off Sheriff st after the guy was shot outside the centra. They probably already arrested him.

Right that's it, I'm banning my missus from cycling here at night until that ****er is caught.

That is attempted murder.

Wouldn't let her any other time either, same along the canal too.....

Safety in numbers usually so going down along there isn't the safest.

I do go for a walk along there every so often if on a long break, usually plenty running and that but it really depends on time.

I'm from Dublin, work in Dublin and have seen some sh1t in my time and I wouldn't class it as been a safe place to be.

Girl I was seeing until not too long ago lives around there and often walks alone at night, i don't like seeing this.
I used to be at her place on Mayor st a lot and for all the gentrification in the area that Sheriff st produces some real scumbags. I'd often see security guards getting harassed and racially abused by local teens. They also get housed in the fancy new apartments there like my exes, so they can stay in the area, she had a few dubious neighbours.
Thiago Cortes was killed by local scum too, I wonder how that court case will go.
