These threads are beyond tedious at this stage. Some areas are bad. That's it. It's impossible to quantify 'toughness'.

I suppose if you had lived all your live in each and every location, then you could give an accurate answer. Otherwise...

Any council estate anywhere in the country will have its bad apples.

But there is a certain type living in these areas that gives the whole area a bad name. Usually the older people in these areas are the finest and live in fear of these scum.

The scum are usually unemployed, go to the bookies every day, are on the labour, drink and smoke, usually have alot of tatoos, support the ira and hate the queen, think its ok for their son to ring them from the garda station after getting arrested for another robbery, hates the gards and think the council should fix a leaking tap in their house.

They generally dont live very long. Usually die from 45 onwards and alot die after benders on the drink or drugs. They consume so much in a 3 day period that their body just gives up.

Good observations there;)

There ya are now, YOU THINK! You dont know!!

I've been up to Dunsink a few times and never had a problem there, i also live near Coolock/Darndale and commute through it daily and never had a problem many of my friends are from there too and they certainally arent ''scum'', i'm not going to make assumptions on what the media reports on Limerick, i'd rather make my own opinion on a place before i go talking ****e on boards:)

I get around Dublin a lot. It's easy to judge an area on a quick drive through and I dont mean toughness wise. Generally if I go into an area or etate and the road and pathwways are chock full of rocks,old bikes,rubbish and burnt out cars you can kind of guess that the adults living there don't give a s**t,so the kids more than likely won't either.Personally,I'd rather live in a box in the middle of a field than inflict my children with the scum who just don't care. There are no tough area's,just places where dysfuctional people rear kids to be just like they are.

Would love to know more about your experiences in the 'hard' streets of Drumcondra...

Too late there Con. Survey was eight years ago.

Dublin 12 is like Hell's Forge, anything which doesn't perish within it's firey depts is tempered into indestructibility.

Ballyer has more than one Department of Firey? Also, what's Firey?

Sorry lads, nothing wrong with the areas mentioned, in fact some are lovely by day (most aren't sh**holes at all), just from what I've heard, can be (the odd time) dodgy at night

Looking at the smaller counties it seems everybody is more or less on the same parallel & so I was astonished at the huge & clearly visible social gaps between the "rough" & "posh" parts of (in particular) Limerick & Dublin.

Per capita they are the two richest counties in Ireland, but still, they are both home to possibly some of the most disadvantaged communities in the country.
Cork & Galway would also be wealthier than most other counties.

Nothing tough about most of the areas mentioned tbh. Sitting around on your arse, drinking, going to the bookies, getting high, having a pitbull, spending your dole money on tattoos, shouting instead of talking and dragging your kids up instead of raising them isn't tough it's scummy. Tough is getting up every day for work, paying your taxes, looking after your area and neighbours, paying your bin charges instead of fly tipping etc... Most of these "tough" areas are infested with cowards who don't contribute to society in any meaningful way at all.
