The whole point of making yourself a better life. Becoming affluent and living in an affluent area so that you do not have to worry about the "things" you bought on your way up to be surrounded by people living on the bottom of the rungs of society jealous of your things and having people around that could possibly be dangerous.

God damn priests.

I cant see vigilantism working, its too extreme and will result in more tit for tat. Personally I think its the responsibility of every Limerick person with a conscience to be aware where their money is going every time they buy a quantity of recreational drugs. Its going into the pockets of those that destroy our city and kill our citizens. Just give it up. I know too many "respectable" people who get coke or yokes at the weekends. Even people who buy a bag of weed are guilty of fuelling local crime. I see no moral problem with an adult deciding what to ingest into their own bodies and taking individual responsibility for any detrimental effects to their health but I do have a problem with these very people putting money in the pockets of murderers. And if you cant live without a joint then take an interest in hydroponic gardening and keep it to yourself, at least its not paying for guns.

Bishop Trevor Williams, Church of Ireland, agreed with Bishop Murray that the city should not be divided into "economic camps with the well-off leafy suburbs that have nothing to do with the so-called hard areas of the city. That is no good...unless our neighbour has a sense of wellbeing and fulfilment then we won't have it either, the wellbeing of the poorest in society is intimately connected to mine".

I really do hate this left-wing socialist crap.

This comment is a joke, if there isn't any economic divisions in society, what's the point of studying in school, what's the point of getting a job and working hard in this job? What's the point of getting up in the morning.

If this is the view of the COI and RC churches in this city, then in my view they can take a walk off a cliff along with the rest of the scum.

What we need is a strong nationalist, patriotic police force and army in this state, to protect the state and it's law-abiding citizens at all cost.

Groups like the gangs in Limerick are a threat to the state and its people, and in no uncertain terms they should be wiped out.

If the Bishop is so concerned about these family's well being then why doesn't he allow them to share his house for a while or get the Church to sell off a bit of their land so that affordable housing for these families can be built on it?

I agree with some of this. Any extreme... left or right is a bad idea. However, its no coincidence that our levels of Organised crime rose at the same rate as our Celtic Tiger economy. A period when Irish economic policy moved from a mixed socialist/free market to American capitalism. The late nineties and early naughties were a period of consumer indulgence. Yes, people worked hard to earn the right to indulge but that same ethos of middle class indulgence fuelled the drug trade. Its the market for cocaine that is responsible for this, cocaine consumed primarily by the middle and upper classes. At a time when the whole nation was on a high... a drug like cocaine will heighten society's already elated mood. Now with the recession, its no surprise that its heroin that is taking its hold, an escapist drug that numbs reality. I'm not saying I want a situation where the demand for cocaine doesn't exist because we cant afford it.. I want a society where consumerism doesn't run rampant to the point that it creates a culture of indulgence...of which cocaine is an integral part. Excessive market competition requires a bombardment of advertising, the ideals of which, shape our popular culture and we as a whole feel we need to compete with each other in terms of our possessions just like our possesions compete with each other through advertising . As a nation who spent over 700 years owning nothing, our collective identity was asking for this disease.
My point is, I for one would have no problem living moderately and modestly if it prevents vicious organised crime. Id like a society where hard work is rewarded but not at the absolute expense of the underprivileged. The State should control Electricity, Water, Health, transport and education, while still rewarding entrepreneurship in various areas. These are just my opinions and I respect those that differ.

yeah so while we're all out marching, the boys will be having a field day robbing every empty house they can find.

As a matter of interest, do residents associations have any rights on their side when it comes to who buys houses in their estates? i.e. how do estates keep trouble out?

I does not appear so. Its appears that most of the social housing is actually provided by the HSE so those records are completely confidential.
