It’s sad when you have people from Belfast saying that they find Dublin scary.
The really sad part is imho, that pretty much everyone agrees that it needs more gardai on the streets, esp. the garda themselves, but tax breaks seem to be more important in the next budget for some reason…..
Dublin remains one of the safest cities in Europe, despite the hysteria. Long-term problems with socio-economic exclusion aren’t magicked away by more Gardaí on the street. Tellingly, the concern people have in Ireland is based upon proximity to the poor and excluded, all the talk is about more cops and sexually frustrated cries for violence by thwarted young men. Nobody seems to ask how to stop the issues.
We’re an incredibly safe city. Which is why a single story in noteworthy national news
