If lads think Dublin is dangerous I hope they never go near Paris. The north inner city of Dublin is Mary Poppins stuff compared to some places there.
I was in Lille for the Euros and thought the organisation on the part of the whole city was pretty shambolic. Stadium way out of town, nothing at all open when we got back into the centre around midnight bar about two bars, no taxis at all.
I love a lot of things about France and the French but but very often they canât organise a piss up in a wine cellar.
If not having far right thugs in yellow vests out rampaging on the streets like the French do constitutes âbeing good little Paddies who do what theyâre toldâ, Iâll take us being âgood little Paddies who do what weâre toldâ, thanks.
If you wouldnât class Capel St as city centre then you donât know the layout of Dublin or else you are just picking and choosing to suit your agenda.
Stoneybatter is North Inner City by any known definition Itâs as close to OâConnell Street as Upper Sheriff Street.
But the term ânorth inner cityâ has come to be applied by a lot of people only to the north east inner city, centred around Sean McDermott Street/Sheriff Street/Summerhill/Ballybough.
Itâs like when people talk about the southside. Theyâre talking about Killiney and Blackrock and Stillorgan and Sandymount. They arenât talking about Tallaght or Neilstown. Or even Monkstown Farm or Ballybrack or Ringsend, even though all those places are on the southside.
Stoneybatter and Smithfield ceased to be considered north inner city for some when they came up a bit in the world. As you say the term is now appropriated by some as meaning North East Inner City. And excluding parts of it at that, like North Great Georgeâs St and Spencer Dock.
