    ...Three guys armed with a baseball bat kicked in the door of a house and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of the guy in the house. Police arrived promptly enough, ambulance followed, guy taken off in said ambulance and forensic team dusting for prints as I type. Partner of injured gentleman is on the road in her pyjamas & string vest chatting to neighbours. And all before I've had my lunch :rolleyes:

    What about the 2 house fronts & car smashed in on Spa Street yesterday afternoon? You'd wonder about the elements living in Port

    there are some bad apples living in Port, but it's still extremely quiet compared to larger towns. The governments policies of throwing rent supplement at life dole recipients, plus the return of slum landlords has all contributed to a decline in standards... hopefully the next budget will send them all back to their parents council houses. I live in kilnacourt and while the terraced houses aren't pretty, i've found it extremely quiet. There's no gangs of youths hanging around, no drinking parties, no vandalised cars, no fights that i've seen. It's a very good estate and a good addition to Port.

    Well said.

    I see the boarding up of certain apts as a positive to be honest.
