Moving to Portarlington

I've removed above a bunch of personalised sniping and some backseat modding.

Bear in mind before posting again, that the vast majority of the residents of any/all of the estates being discussed are decent upstanding ordinary people.
Remember that they can (and likely ARE) reading this too, so reflect on what you're about to post and ask yourself how you might react if someone else was posting the same thing about your home place.
No one is being asked to ignore true events or to gloss over unfortunate circumstances, but you ARE required to be measured and considerate in you contributions.

Any further personal or vindictive comments will be met with sanctions.

Well said moderator . I can't believe this thread is still going !!
It started as someone asking about moving to portarlington and ended up as a debate over kilnacourt woods.
Any newsworthy events believe me make the paper or news . Is there a need to bring them up again here ? This is not a thread to highlight negative aspects that may arise in one estate. People love to talk about the bad and ignore the good and it's not a fair representation .
I think enough comments have been made . The people who
started the thread will most surely of made their moving decisions by now !

Hi
Wow that is a serious thread of pissed people. All i'll say is breathe, count to ten..
Ok I am a blow in from Westmeath living with my boyfriend in the Birches. This is our first place together, justhere 7 months. We were here when the guy got arrested for the guns and drugs and for that unfortunate fire in the oaks also.
It is such a shame that these had to happen in Kilnacourt because having never moved away from home, I have never felt more safe in Kilnacourt and do definately consider Portarlington my home now.
Everyone is so so friendly and we are even looking to try and stay in Kilnacourt and buy one of the houses due to the lovely little mini community that has developed here.
Im glad that the residents of Kilnacourt defend the estate so much. Its a lovely place to live! And I don't blame the comments other people make about the reputation it may or may not have. Noone can choose where people get shot, murdered, done for drugs, fire bomb an apartment. Its a shame it had to happen in Kilnacourt. The only thing to do is move forward. I will always recommend Kilnacourt for its sense of community. NOONE is better than anyone here and dont judge it unless you've lived in it. Kilnacourt is just as good as Whitefield, Castlegate and Station Court. Its BER ratings are amoungst the best in the town. To whom ever wishes to move to Kilnacourt, Get the facts straight and go with your own judgement. You will not be disappointed.

Lovely place.
The Glen is the newest part - the most furthers and the Kilnacourt woods is the oldest.
Only 7 or 8 of the glen houses left at the back.
75k for a townhouse.
85K for 3 bed semi.

BER Rating C1-3
