Didnt go into the city centre at the weekend but was in drumcondra/glasnevin. Dublin can be a great city but needs a lot sorted. Id love not to be able to have a pop off the city.
In all i think urban centres have seriously gone down hill since covid mainly highlighted in dublin but limerick and cork have gone down the same road with similar issues
100% the main problem and all down to funding. When the Europa Final on this year you couldnāt walk 50 yards without seeing 2 or 3 guards in groups. Zero trouble, every person felt safe. A normal wkd, you wonāt see a guard for the night because we are fitting the bill.
Itās a good job we have all you guys taking the time to check in on us. Thanks fellas.
Was just an observation on my part mate.
I lived in Dublin for the better part of 30 years, love the place and get back up as often as I can.
What I surmised above however, is not a new phenomenon, the complete lack of a Garda presence has been an issue for well over a decade.
But I see thereās this new political party named Fianna Fail who are going to address the issue if theyāre ever lucky enough to get into power!
My brother is back for a holiday from Australia next week, heās mad to stay a night in Dublin, Iām trying to tell him wouldnāt he be better off go to Kerry or Galway and not get the shit kicked out of him?
You tell him Karen.
Dingle or Dublin
Dingle be grand until you wake up the next morning with a bastard of a journey home.
Heāll get a few slaps in Kerry if he wants it
head off to Tralee for the weekend
Stay in and have a few cans.
Heās coming from Australia probably two hour drive to a shop
I think youāve watched too much flying doctors mate. 95% of them live by the sea.
Sure where else would they land their seaplanes?
24/7 court. 
They canāt get the judges to sit down for a full day as it is.
Fixed
Doling out a fellas 247th conviction at 3am is really gonna soften his cough for him alright
Fellas will be back on the streets to bate another victim the same night
Itās becoming increasingly edgy around town last while. I had some bidniz yesterday afternoon and walked around Dublin 2 and didnāt encounter one Garda but did encounter two groups of young lads walking with wine bottles who were shouting at passers by in an attempt to provoke a response or to intimidate. A scrote with a glass wine bottle could do some damage.
