The Shame I feel about Dublin as my 🐐 capital (and other random cities in videos that Muldoons think is Dublin)

There’s a lane there between Aston Quay and Wynns that I’d say is one of the worst spots in town. I’d say what goes on there doesn’t bear thinking about. Similar lanes between the Abbey Theatre and the Irish Life Building and behind the north side of Talbot St.

I used to do a spot of auditing in that area 20 years ago. One investment fund place that’s since gone bust (coincidentally enough like many companies I audited) had an entrance on Aston Quay & the room we ticked pieces of paper in overlooked one of those lanes out the back where drug users would congregate. Think there’s a methadone clinic nearby too & traffic would be coming & going all day. Middle Ireland would be up in arms as it could be perceived as condoning drug use but maybe these safe using places would be safer & more easy to monitor than having this happening on street.

There’s definitely a need for supervised injection centres in the south and north inner city. It will at least remove the addicts using from public view. Access within these sites to clean injecting equipment, therapists, and addiction counsellors, who liaise with treatment centres and support groups would be a good start. We can easily blame the addicts for the behaviour, but at the end of the day, it’s a sickness beyond their control, most likely driven by a combination of genetics, and triggered by trauma. Coming at this from a health perspective, may wield greater results than we’ve seen from a judicial approach.

Is that not Eden Quay?

Eden Quay. Has that lane been shut down recently, as in gated up so people can’t enter it? I thought I heard it had?

But you’d still have dealing on the street and the dealers would congregate outside the safe spaces. Inevitably the safe spaces would end up in the centre of town, in the poorer parts because of property values and proximity to hostels and this would just help perpetuate the decline of these areas. It’s actually quite difficult.

[Batigol]

It’s insanely difficult yeah. But I think safe places to inject would be a start.

You and @Cheasty are right. I got mixed up because the Astor cinema used be there.

They had to get an outsider to clear up corruption. Much like up north, Harris does what he’s told. Never complains about resources, plays his political masters tune. Happy to take the heat. After the carry on of Noreen, Callinan and the Paul Murphy case they had to do something. Harris the perfect cunt to deal with them.

When match day goers were caught on the hop for a wee during covid and were forced up some of the laneways of the inner city…

I can’t stop giggling at this.

I followed @Fagan_ODowd ’s initial error & should have said Eden Quay.

I’ll take the hit for that one pal.

Would these facilities have TVs and music for them to trip out to?

[Batigol]

I’ve a few playlists I could recommend

[Alphakrul1]

Oh, they’d be showing Trainspotting on a loop, whilst Pink Floyd would be gently lapping in the background.

If ever a case summed up the state of the country it is the 12 month suspended sentence yesterday for a man in possession of horrific child abuse material including a child being raped and tortured while another man is in prison for refusing to use pronouns and defying a court order due to his religious beliefs. We are truely living in a simulation.

That evil child abuser should have got a life sentence, in my view, not a suspended sentence of any kind. He should not have been released until it was clear he was no longer a threat to children or to anyone else.

But fools like you adopting Enoch Burke as a hero are the core part of another considerable problem. That gobshite is not in jail for his religious beliefs. Cop yourself on. He is in jail for refusing, repeatedly, to purge contempt of court. You are either keen on the law of the land or you are not. Clearly you want one law for the likes of Enoch Burke and another law for everyone else.

Wilson’s Hospital did not suspend Enoch Burke for refusing to use they/them pronouns. Not in any fashion. The school suspended that gobshite, under Irish employment law, for aggressive and highly unprofessional behaviour in the school itself. And the management of Wilson’s Hospital were perfectly correct to do so, because Enoch Burke’s behaviour was entirely unacceptable. The Burkes’ conduct in general has been outrageous – as any rational person would agree.

I made this point here before, which seems not considered enough. Enoch Burke and his ilk make a great hubbub about parental rights. So much so that all the Burkes were homeschooled. The pupil attending Wilson’s Hospital has the support of their parents on the question of pronoun usage. So Enoch Burke, if nothing else, is a hypocrite in not respecting the wishes of that child’s parents. Whatever about employment law, who is he to think he knows better than that child’s parents how that child should be treated?

Why fools like you continue to parrot lies should be beyond me. But I guess it is simply because you are a right wing bigot.

[backinatracksuit]

There’s room for both of them, it’s not either or

But I’d wager that that paedophile fella said ‘sorry judge I definitely won’t do that again’, Burke isn’t in jail for anything pronoun related

‘I’d like to see them shot in the head’: Councillor’s hard line on Dublin riots

Let’s hold off on the knee jerk reactions

[Iggy]

“I’d like to see them shot in the head or bring the public in and beat them until they die,” Cllr Talukder told council members.

In fairness you could call that a hard line alright.
