    Another thing to add about O'Connell St - It looks like Sh*t. Its ment to be one of the main streets of Dublin. Its were all the buses arrive filled with tourists stops. All the shops have closed or are closing down and all the buildings are run down. All it has left is Dr Qurkies with junckies hanging around outside and about 20 spars, centras etc.

    I have to disagree. Well, I agree about the centras, spars and fast food joints, and that god awful dr quirkeys! They let the street down. But on the other hand, you have some lovely architecture, some really nice statues, the spire (which I really like), the GPO, Clery's, The Gresham Hotel, Savoy, Grand Central Pub, some decent stores.. it's not all bad. And at night with all the lights on etc, it looks lovely.. imo.

    I may be slightly biased, I live very close to O'Connell Street and consider that whole area my home, so I get quite upset when people just see the bad..

    I lived in Dublin since 1981 and it's never exactly been a peaceful, clean city.

    Most big cities have similar problems.

    Moving out of the city centre would address a lot of your whining.
