Fair enough, and I understand what your saying, but I was just making the point that there is no need to repeat yourself in every single post.

I'm a moving to Cork in a month, never lived there before, looking forward to it! :rolleyes:

Its a grand city, Dont mind half the rubbish on this thread, You wont get any hassle off anyone here as long as you dont bother them. Recently there has been a increase in junkies/alcos/addicts straying out of their usual areas so make sure you have a car alarm/or steering lock, Most of these junkies will only ask for a euro or so but ignore them and walk on, They really only do stupid petty things anyway.

Thanks for that - I'll let my elderly nan know that she needs to grow a pair of balls. 'Seriously nan, like man up will ya! Where are your balls?'

yep you do exactly that. the world shouldnt have to move to the beat of a few daft old people and their prejudices against a handful of harmless youths.

I always thought Cork was grand. Never felt too unsafe in the city, day or night.

And despite all this talk of junkies, I've barely seen any.

Ah sure that talk only suit's people's agendas.There has always been begrudgers who always try there best to find fault's with Cork or are so crippled by inferiority complexes that they try there best not to like this fair city.Sure if anyone doesn't like it here they know where they can go.:pac:

I don't think Cork has a very visible problem with junkies. I'm not saying there isn't a drug problem in Cork, just that it's not in your face. My first day living in Dublin I saw a guy thrown in a doorway on Abbey Street with a needle hanging out of his arm. Saw a lot of similar kind of things up there. I've never witnessed anything like that in Cork.

If people want to see a city with a drug problem they should visit Vancouver. There are whole sections of the East side of downtown that are just no go areas because of the concentrations of drug users. You can't go for a drink in town any night of the week without being continuously hassled for money by people out of their minds on heroin or crystal meth.
