    Great Western Villas is nice. Overall it's a nice area, particularly convenient for most things. But there are a large number of dodgy addressed in the area, make sure your place isn't in one of them

    Perhaps.... it's generally a word used by people as a cover for their own perceived inadequacies in my experience.. they feel the need to look down on somebody else. I've heard the whole of Tallaght described as scum in some circles, while in other circles I've been in, your own grammatical shortcomings would be viewed as evidence that you are scum.
    I don't really like the word myself, but c'est la vie.

    Grangegorman itself is a lovely area. I live down the road from there in the Oxmantown part of Stoneybatter and I love it! There are great pubs a few nice restaurants and its so handy for town. I was worried before moving that it would be a bit rough but that was just stupid snobbery on my part. Its a great neighbourhood.
    I know one or two people who have had bad experiences renting flats on North Circular Road itself (in those 4 story redbricks) at the end near the park. This was not due to the area itself but rather that the houses were crammed full of tenants, badly kept and security was poor.
    Where abouts in Grangegorman are you thinking of renting??
    Good luck :)
