Where are you seeing that?
Iām out in Dublin regularly enough and see very little if any trouble. That said Iād never dream of drinking around Talbot Street or Inner D1 etc apart from if I was dipping in on the way back from HQ. You wouldnāt spend your night drinking in the rough areas of Limerick, Cork or whatever city you were in.
Very very rarely have I seen any trouble across Dame Street, Camden St or around the Streets off Grafton. I have never once got hassle apart from lads asking for a few pound.
Dublin is still and always will be a great city to have a beer in.

The place is fucking filthy
Its like a bigger Athy.
Iāve never been.
Will you be asked for money 16 times while you sit outside drinking a pint there?
Be grateful they only asked and didnt smash your head in with a brick
after the 2016 AI - one of the lads got lost and I was at the corner of the oval there trying to ring him. two antoās robbed my phone in broad daylight, one caught me from behind and the other twisted my wrist and ran off with the phone
Cunts. I can see how this could influence a persons opinion of a place.

Thatās pretty unlucky in a busy spot with loads of people around. It does show Dublin up as a bit dangerous.
All these comments of lads never seeing trouble on a night out in Dublin or that fellas must have been looking for trouble are miles wide of the mark. Iāve never had any bother on a night out in Dublin but Iād probably never be near any establishment I might encounter it. Iāve never felt unsafe anywhere in Dublin either. But the incidents being reported are generally of pretty innocent people, often tourists, being subjects of violent attacks. Thatās totally different to the place being a bit rough or feeling edgey at closing time, itās random extremely violent attacks happening out of nowhere to innocent people on a semi regular basis, thatās clearly an issue.
I chalked it up to experience. At least it wasnāt violent.

Thatās the only incident i had in Dublin. I lived in Hartstown for a while and played ball with Mochtas while i was there. The dubs were all absolutely bang on. I used drink in the roselawn and Buddha Bar in blanch.
The last few years with being at all irelands youād see the absolute fucking state of some lads on the junk walking around unhindered inside in the city centre. During the day even. Itās a mess and its unfortunate, but to flat out not see it or say it doesnāt exist is a bit off

These Garda shill crime journalists sicken my hole. This fella and the likes of Niall OāConnor, Paul Reynolds etc. They are basically just an extension of the Garda press office.
A couple of guards walking around Temple Bar in the middle of the day shouldnāt be newsworthy or applauded.

Another unvetted military aged male abusing a security guard trying to do a dayās work.
The worst bit is the young child calling him a legend after it. What a cess pit.
