[Dr. Panti Bliss] I’ve lived in D1 for a long time, literally between where the two assaults everyone is talking about happened. I walk on Talbot/Abbey/Marlborough/O’Connell St EVERY SINGLE DAY. Lots of people who know *nothing* about the area have spent days now loudly opining on it and I’m tired.

Oh grand. Sure let’s carry on as normal shall we? Let’s the scrotes take over the asylum. It’s ok, a ‘doctor’ said so.
Completely agree
Even if no assaults happen, it’s still grim as fuck with scrotes lurking around robbing, intimidating, being off their face and making an absolute mess of the place. The general area is drab.
I’d say the people who’ve been hospitalised are more tired.
Been travelling up to Dublin the last 6 months for a job 3 days a week and couldn’t believe how much craic Dublin was and how safe it was to walk around
Has Panti Bliss ever walked around these mentioned streets as Panti Bliss? Not trying to be smart, but I don’t think she’d have tonnes of welcoming reactions
Is that in dublin
We’re not expected to take them seriously with a name like that are we? Lol
Since when is he a doctor?
Wonder what street that “Noble Call” speech was about? You know the one where someone threw something at her. Wonder was it one of those ones she walks every day
I worked on Abbey St/Marlborough Street for years, it’s grim as fuck, and that was before the pandemic.
Been there a few times since and it’s very rough.
Panti Bliss, been getting alot of media and RTE work lately. Everything is grand she reckons.
This is the same Panti Bliss who said that Dublin isn’t safe the several times the Panti Bar was attacked?
Remember folks, it’s not a man invalidating women’s fears as long as he wears a dress and has the authorised political opinions.
Running a pub in the city centre that needs commonly targeted people to consume alcohol in it has nothing to do with his opinion on the city’s safety either I’m sure.
Until it happens to yourself or someone you know Pant Bliss, you will then be on your twitter bitching about no Garda, how the minister should resign and its a disgrace etc etc….
I’m really glad it’s got good Turkish Delight, Panti, but I’m not sure the relevance of that when a tourist was nearly beat to death there recently.
Is this the proprietor of a D1 bar regularly in the news for being vandalized and defaced? Trying to tell us things are grand in D1?
Think we’ve found Fagin lads
Dr?
It’s grim around Talbot st but it’s also grim either side of the quays, around Townsend st and down thomas street as well. Very few places in Dublin feel safe these days
I volunteer to ” opine”
All in broad daylight
Minding my own business
Capel St. Assaulted twice hospitalised once
Talbot St. spat on and flung against a wall.
Parnell St. Car vandalised.
Sackville place. Chased by locals , stones thrown, hits my mate 5 stitches.
Yeah D1 is a diverse place for crime.
Jury duty .( 7 years ago )
.horrific assault on a tourist. 5 arrested
42 previous convictions between the 5 in the D1 area
Rory is talking bs 💯.
Gotta love some of the comments in Twitter:
“I’m a 63 year old women and have never had any issues walking in these streets at night, people are exaggerating”
Try being a young man and you’ll notice a difference in confrontation from these youths. They like to punch people that contest the streets with them. And since most of the offenders are boys, men are the targets.
From my experience, if you’re a man, Dublin isn’t safe at night, the city center is nowhere to walk around past 10pm.
Lol I have worked on Talbot Street for 10 years and have been living 5 minutes away from it my whole life and it is a fucking dive. A street to avoid at any time of the day but especially after dark.
I was down there today most of the day. Not a Garda in sight but it was not a no go zone. Asides from the odd drunk I didn’t see anything other than it could do with a road sweep
Worked on James Joyce Street for over a decade, area is not safe despite Panti’s comments. I have seen over the years everything and anything from defecating on the streets, drug taking, violence, robbery, harassment, arrests all in broad daylight. You have your wits about you constantly try not to steps on the crap on the pavements (wondering if it’s dogs or humans) or the blood droplets wondering where those came from. I walked those streets(Amiens,Talbot,store, gardiner, Foley, railway) morning, afternoon and evenings I know what I have seen and am talking about
Why are we debating exactly how safe or unsafe the area is? A person is seriously injured in hospital so obviously there’s a safety issue. Panti doesn’t seem to be offering any input other than that the area has some lovely spots and people which was never in question.
And I’m tired of hearing how more Gardaí won’t help. Well the Gardaí we do have are stressed, overburdened and leaving the force so yeah we do need some new ones. I think we should up the pay for Gardaí to make it a more desirable profession because like them or not, we do need them
