I still like Dublin but it has regressed hugely since the lockdowns. Definitely dirtier in the city centre and feels more dangerous particularly in Dublin 1. Service in a lot of restaurants and pubs has gone to the dogs too. For those of us lucky enough to live in leafy Dublin 4 life remains a dream but I feel for my fellow Dublin inhabitants who arenât so lucky.
Hopefully that starts to make a difference although they only seem to mention areas in the southside in that article. Will northsiders continue to wallow in their own shit? Seems unfair on those poor folk.
I wouldnât know much about Dublin but the walk from The Hogan Stand to Connolly Station isnât very nice. And the walk from The Mater to OâConnell St. isnât great either.
D1 & D2 are chalk and cheese to walk around.
You wonât get much nicer than strolling along the D2 / D4 Grand Canal area. A lovely vibe on a sunny day.
Was on the bike around South County Dublin over the weekend, Ranelagh, Sandymount, Blackrock, Dun Laoighre and Glasthule. Beautiful part of the county, wonderful old period properties, good train service, beach and swimming facilities, nice coffee shops/bars etc
Did a bit of window shopping in an estate agent, mean properties in Blackrock âŹ2 million.
A few self hating Muldoons on here desperate for a pat on the head from their Dublin betters and maybe a ticket for the Autumn International series game v Fiji
