Scumbag Neighbours

gihj

Hi folks,

First things first,this should be probably be in the City section but a particular poster there with an issue with my opinions got his pal (a mod) to ban me.

Anyway i recently lost my job in Dublin and had to move my family back to rent in Corbally.It caused a lot of problems in our marriage and getting the kids new schools etc.

Recently our new next door neighbours have been causing lots of problems (broke our windows,loud music all night long,openly dealing drugs to carloads of young lads all night long).

I can't really take anymore but it's the only place we can afford and close to babysitter families.

Is there anything i can do to get these people moved out of the house next door (also renting).

The Gardai tell me after all the times i called them that the courts is a waste of time (in fairness they have came out everytime i called them).

I'm at the end of my tether and genuinely scared now:mad:

Rather than thinking about how to get the neighbours out, maybe you should consider getting out yourself. :eek:

Hope everything works out!

Agreed. Do whatever you need to and get your family somewhere safe.

The bolded bit confuses me. Are you implying that you're staying in your current place so that you have someone to babysit your kids when you go out drinking?

I didn't take it up like you but now you've mentioned it i certainly hope not.

I fail to see how you came up with that from the bolded bit or the entire post.I never mentioned drinking or even whether i drink or not.
Not very helpful.

Amiable,My wife recently got some work but it involves travelling around the country.
3 young kids can be quite a handful.

If a babysitter is required it doesnt necessarily mean to go out drinking!! And if they do use one for an occassion to get out for a night to enjoy themselves, is this any of your business!!

best of luck gihj in this awful situation but I think the safest option as others have suggested is get the hell out of there, put the safety of your family first. I know its not the fairest option but its the most logical.

Agreed about the moving. Sometimes you just need to do something even if its against what you think just for the better of your family

Thank you Limerick Lass.
I think we might end up moving in with the in laws to kill two birds with the one stone.
It may be cramped but i feel things will improve that way until i get lucky with a job

What an ignorant post. Nowhere did he say anything about going out drinking and is it any of your business what he needs a babysitter for?

OP I'd suggest getting the hell out of there. Your family's safety is the most important thing and I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to babysit throughout the city.

Its a very sad state of affairs when the only option you really have is to move away from scumbag neighbours

Agreed but you also need to do whatever you have to if it means protecting your family

Have you tried approaching local councillors to find out if the council or health board are the tenants of your neighbours? Pascal Fitzgerald is local Labour councillor and Cathal Crowe is local Fianna Fail one, both live in Corbally and I'm sure their numbers are in phone book. They might be able to advise you on your options. I have heard that allegedly P.Fitzgerald was successful in having an anti-social family removed from the area due to their behaviour. I heard this 2nd hand so can't confirm if its true or not.

A feeling i know these trouble makers are. They've been targeting businesses in Corbally area lately too, they are dangerous. OP, even if you do manage to get them evicted, they make seek retribution on you. I dont think you have any choice but to move, that is what i would do anyway.

Is this in Westbury or somewhere else?

allthedoyles

Keep the authorities on to them - but it is important that you stay completely anonymous to all

Pixied

Move and now. If they are making money on your road, they are going nowhere.

tfitzgerald

i had a friend in the same situation and what she did was she wrote to them and told them she would report them to welfare for working while they were signing , to the tv licence people to check their licence , to the revenue people she even told them she would get there dog licence checked if the did'nt stop acting the maggot now they are nice and quite

Pixied

Your friend was lucky she didn't get her windows done in. That has happened me twice and it is terrifying.

Just move op, you're renting so you have flexibility. If they are real 'hard' scum they won't be up for negotiation.

Haha that's funny and probably true. If you are hellbent on staying put it might just be the only way to get them to give ye a bit of space. You might be lucky you never know! I do know threatening these guys would get you nowhere.

If the house is privately rented contact the PRTB and explain your concerns and they may reveal the contact details for the landlord.

I feel for you OP as I am in the same boat but unfortunately cannot move as I own the property.

Oh make sure to document every little detail with dates etc.
