i feel safe around the populated areas,not so safe around unpopulated areas..like any town or city stick to the main drag..

borehead

Degsy

Safe as houses.

ya sure you will always get wasters,who are too drunk or drugged and pick random fights,but when youre walking home from somewhere dont pass the troublespot pubs,or the pubs that tend to be overpacked..

if youre on a night out its different - you just have to face the music,but,if a fight is brewing walk away..

I have no wary feelings of going out in dublin what so ever.















at all.

Generally feel safe but ever since I was on the receiving end of a random attack, I'm a bit more wary.

For the most part Dublin is safe at night but unfortunately you can be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and some scumbag with too much drink on them starts something for no reason other than he's a dick and can't handle his drink

I have to say, I've always found Dublin to be a pretty safe city. I'm 28 now and have never had any hassle beyond a drunk acting the eejit or passing comment.
Never had anything escalate beyond words.

Although I'm very aware that it happens, it's usually when both people are too pissed to have a bit of common sense.

GarIT

Yes. One you stay on the main streets.

I'm a third dan black belt in trouble avoidance.

In the City Centre I feel very safe. Out in certain suburbs is a different story however.

Yeah totally,I usually go to pubs up around the Grafton Street/Harcourt Street/Wexford Street areas and have never had any hassle.Even when I was younger and used to go to the likes of Fibbers and The Living Room off O'Connell Street I never had any trouble either.

I do but I am aware that things can get dangerous fast. I think alcohol deadens this though.

I feel completely safe on a night out.

Have walked out to ballybough from town after a night out, down parnell street at 2 or 3 in the morning and have felt slightly unsafe but that's about the limit.

As everyone else has said, bit of street smarts go a long way towards avoiding altercations.

It's safe.

Safe for grown-ups once semi-sober. I've walked Dame St - Patrick St. - Cork St. when out of taxi money at 2 in the morning plenty of times. Just be alert. Toerags look for victims, not adults walking in a straight line with a sense of purpose about where they're going.
The flipside is if you're wobbling about and the barman has just refused you - get a taxi.

it seems to be a thing in bigger irish cities that you can be walking down the street and someone takes a swing at you for absolutely no reason.

true, not recommended to sit upstairs on a dublin bus in the evening.

keep your mouth shut, do not respond to comments and cross the street when trouble comes and most problems should be avoided.

Safe as houses IMO.

As others have said, keep your wits about you and you'll be fine.

Comments like that can start a fight .

How many times has it happened to you Fuinseog?

a girl got raped by two men out in clonsilla blanchardstown in a park nearby in the evening a couple of weeks ago i heard when i was up the other week in dublin,i think in my opinion secluded non populated areas are the worst for isolated attacks where theres no help around for miles,but the populated areas are bad for fights and being kicked to death so its hard to say,anyway the worst thing is being out late in the evening when all the scummers are about,best time to head in is early if youre to do anything in town or out in the suburbs..

likewise, ive never come across trouble thank god and ive a pretty good nose for seeing trouble before it happens

christmas2012

the girl who got raped by the two said she was lucky to escape and there was nobody around in the park when the attack took place - very scary to be in a secluded area,like out of town or in the country theres no help for miles,and by then it can be too late..
