    Wouldn't be a location I'd choose to live in, but then I remember the flats that were there along with the caravan shop

    No - the council flats are long gone now. Hillview had something of a local minor bad reputation back in the 70's and 80's but I believe it is a fairly quiet and mature area now.

    It's grand, I have a friend who lives there, there are a lot of kids so it's a bit noisy, but no major trouble

    It's only all right. Although it's all quite depending on what you're used to. There is the odd fire in the field and a garda was stabbed there recently. http://m.independent.ie/irish-news/news/garda-is-stabbed-in-leg-and-beaten-by-gang-of-young-thugs-34496897.html

    There are regular antisocial issues in the estate I live not too far away and have reason to call the gardai twice in the last 18 months. On both occasions they pointed in the direction of Hillview for the culprits
