Brought the kids up last Saturday on the train for the day. We had plenty of time so walked from Houston into town , passed a fella injecting himself in a door way with what I presume were heās children trying to cover it.
Fucking cesspit
Itās actually bananas how lawless central Dublin feels on an average night. Or even day. Often wonder what tourists make of it. Then quickly put it out of my mind. As a capital city itās an embarrassment. Plenty lawlessness in other capitals but they usually keep it out of the city centre. By any means necessary.

Sweep sweep?
Dublin used to be great for firing the homeless junkies and beggars out to the likes of Rathmines and Phibsboro when Christmas shopping season came about. Be very sad if they didnāt keep that lovely tradition
Thatās OāConnell Street bridge junction, arguably the busiest place in Ireland for foot traffic. That went on for 2 minutes and 20 seconds, looks like it had been going on for a minute or two before the footage started and probably went on after the video ended. Not a garda to be seen. Fucking useless cunts.

In fairness lad, youāre a guard and you have sfa to use to intervene with or defend yourself, would you put yourself out there as a guardian of the peace?
Itās the officialdom/governance/management/judiciary thatās useless.
Incredible scenes
Itās their job though. Plenty of other countries in the world where cops donāt have guns where the busiest tourists spots are not full of junkies shooting up and rolling around pawing each other. Youād bate those 2 zombies with your cap, itās not exactly putting yourself in mortal danger.

Ah I dunno. Iāve seen them in action and if my son/daughter was a member of the force in Dublin Iād be telling them clock in and keep your head down, hands in yer pockets. No ones getting medals for handling these individuals, spitting, biting, scraping, carrying syringes.
Clean up squads is whatās needed, load them onto big paddywagons straight to sterilisation units.
62 million to improve the public realm in fairview is met with disgust by cagers and councillors
Pass by the Merchants Quay methadone clinic and thereās open dealing\using going on in full view of the corporation head office. Iāve often seen Garda cars pass by with nothing done. All I can think of is Colvins idea in the Wire about New Amsterdam, keep everything in one area and out of sight of the majority of people. As regards the āfightā thereās usually a few cops a hundred yards down the street towards the GPO, surely they would have seen the commotion?
You get a better class of street entertainment on the southside of the the Liffey.

I agree to a point so give them the tools to do it. A builder isnt allowed on a building site without PPE, training and tools. Gardai havent much more to go to work with. Iād almost argue that a builder is possibly better equipped. Which is more lethal? A baton? A hammer? Or a syringe?
Thereās far more builders killed and injured each year doing their jobs than Gardai.
