    Okay, the subject of this may seem a little extreme but it’s completely realistic. The old holder of that title has seen serious crime drop off the map while Dublin’s crime levels are exploding. The streets are dangerous to the point where your safety is a numbers game, as in it’s only a matter of time before you become a victim.

    So, realistically, is Dublin the new Stab City?

    This works really really well if you read it in your best forboding, movie trailer voice...cut to scene of brutal street gang attack.

    Meanwhile, in the real world.

    Images of people darting down alleys and scaling buildings to avoid the 28-days-later-style scummers with butcher knives and cleavers running around the abandoned streets.

    You heard the man. It's only a matter of time guys.

    Quick question OP: have you been to Dublin before?

    Might want to send them anyway. Only way to protect against a stabbing is to get their first.

    Where did you get this from? The people of Limerick would love this to be true, sadly nothing has changed. Oh wait, the money for the regeneration of Southill has run out. That's about all the news from Limerick lately.

    I'm only too aware of the knife culture here a 'promising boxer' having had his throat slit on my doorstep in broad daylight last wk - by a pal; but people should understand Tynee Tempahs London 'grime' scene practically insists you carry a knife and SHM have collaborated with the likes of 'Knife Party' Both acts, were present at the Phoenix Park scangerfest.

    And I say scangerfest, in relation to seeing the bill nevermind what it inevitably attracted. Authorities would wanna get some cultural savvy, after more than two decades of a dominant skanger culture that was given the very vacuous air it sails on by the emergance of the scumbag club scene of rave and given gangland wind by rap; their finger is hardly on the pulse now is it. I remember a time prior, there was only the occasional ordinary decent criminal.
