Thursday, the dreaded day in the office because it means being back in the city centre. Exiting one of the capitals main train stations you are greeted by a waft of piss and your expectations are set for the day.

1. Maybe I like the misery

2. It is getting worse. I’ve worked in around town most of my life and it really seems to have ramped up in the last few years. Work in Smithfield now and there’s a bang of piss on almost every street, and the less said about the piles of shit from the people using the Capuchin centre the better.

3. So beautiful.

4. Oh no one day a week in the city how will you ever survive this hardship

5. [deleted]

6. Those slabs are absolutely manky where ever they have used them in towns around the country. Same in other countries. Even when they clean them here they still look like shite.

7. The city’s paths are filthy and DCC patting themselves on the back for power washing the paths outside DCC lol.

8. Don’t worry, once you get use to the smell of piss, you will wonder how you ever lived without it.

9. Last week I got the Luas down to Heuston. Junkies were swarming around the stop just as soon as you hopped off. Zombies have better hygiene than them.

10. The rosie hacket bridge is so manky, the railings the chairs the pavement, what should be a nice little spot to catch your breath and youve more chance of cathching hep c

11. The volume of rubbish is what gets me. I walk along the quays to work and the paths are genuinely covered in heaps of rubbish blowing all over the place. I used to dream of living in the city but it’s getting hard to dodge the piss, vomit and rubbish

12. It’s like they just let the rain do the work for them and now that it’s been hot and dry it’s really showing

13. The rubbish is because people don’t care and litter everywhere.

    The junkies will urinate and defecate wherever they want to.

    The slabs the paths are made out of seem to just hold onto the dirt. The original granite slabs around the bank of Ireland on college green have been down for hundreds of years, with millions of people walking over them and they look much cleaner than anything laid in past 30 years

    The council seem to have given up since the pandemic.

    But the public need to be a bit more mindful of what they do with their litter.

    And public toilets were taken away because of junkies using them to shoot up.

    It’s a dirty old town and it needs power hosing with jeyes fluid

14. I thought a moany bollocks like you would fit right in in Dublin

15. Can we get a team of power washers in this country ta fuck.

16. It’s because of the lockdown, inflation, and the war in Ukraine.

17. Sounds like the start of a modern day Dickens novel.

18. If it makes you feel any better, I live in Paris and get the train from Gare du Nord once a week and the place absolutely reeks of piss.

    I mean, a lot of the city reeks of piss but that place is definitely one of the worst.

19. The entire station and area around the station needs to be redeveloped maybe even bulldozed out front. Our biggest train station and the first view point should be far better than some terrible modern attachment to a beautiful old station and a elevator with a homeless guy at the bottom. facilities need to be more like that of other European countries too, with more shops and the likes of secure bike parking and bag storage for visitors

21. Dublin has a serious lack of public toilets. its crazy for a capital city to be like this. i also remember when those kinda slabs were being put down in henry street area and eventually grafton street there was a lot of public outcry. the council was repeatedly told about how they would look with dirt /grime. but it fell on deaf ears. there was probably some backhanders involved.

    i felt when they got rid of the old red brick part of dublins soul left
