Work in north inner city and it is a hellhole. Filthy knacker ridden kip.

And the op is correct pick and irish town out at random and 9/10 it will be nicer than the north inner city.

Not a fan of Irishtown myself, lived near there for a while

Folks - Let's keep this relevant to the North County. Dublin City issues go to the Dublin City forum.

I'd have to agree with that. A lot of the 'friendliness' in rural Ireland is pure nosiness in my experience. I'll talk to almost anyone but I take exception to being at a 'press conference' two sentences into the conversation. Try buying a stamp in a rural post office!

Have to agree with biko and hill billy , OP post 1 , if not a troll then a pot stirrer , and probably suited to after hours forum or dub city forum ,in my book Leo B SAY'S it all N.C.D -- Fab Place .. fab people .. we should be the 33rd County .. our day will come.

Absolute bollocks! Skerries is filthy & disgusting? It won the Tidy Towns last year! Other towns in the north county are also very well kept & largely litter-free.

Admittedly, there are litter black spots in the city, but if that's a topic for the Dublin City forum.

And as for friendliness - if you are going around sporting that sort of nonsense attitude I'd say it is probably you, not us.

Completely agree. I'm from up the road in Balbriggan and pop into Skerries regularly. If the OP finds Skerries filthy, then they must have some incredibly high standards.

As you say yourself, you do seem to be that only person, ever wonder why?

1) A lot of people here seem to not be very nice at all, in stark contrast to people from, let's say, anywhere in the West of Ireland, who seem much friendlier and don't seem as pretentious as quite a lot of people from Dublin.

I find people from Dublin to be very friendly. One of the friendliest cities in the world. (official)

2) It's absolutely filthy. Everywhere I go, Lusk, Rush, Skerries, Swords, Dublin City, etc. is absolutely filthy and disgusting just to be in. The ground is constantly full of litter.

No it's not. Look again.

3) Dublin City. Don't get me started on Dublin City; it's a nightmare. It's an absolutely disgusting place and I never ever go there unless absolutely unavoidable.

It's one of the nicest cities in Europe.

I want to move to the West somewhere and unless someone can give me at least 5 good reasons why I'd want to stay here I'm leaving this utter kip.

Five reasons?

1- Noodle bars and Burrito bars (cheap and good)
2 - Free Museums and galleries (win win)
3 - Great people
4 - The wildlife sanctuaries
5 - The choice the city has to offer.

It's a bit weird posting in the North county Dublin forum about hating all of Dublin. And, keeping it relevant to North County Dublin (mod post noted) you couldn't get a more food producing area in the country when it comes to horticulture. The area is dotted with seaside towns and village with very rural environments. Some of the best tillage land on the island with amazing little hidden, isolated spots with sailing clubs (affordable ones at that), Golf, GAA, Rugby, every sport and hobby ticked off!! Some of the villages and towns have cracking pubs and well critiqued restaurants offering the best of local sea and field produce.

These nonsense threads attract the usual, predictive trolls trying to stir up the fanboys...

Am a Dub myself, agree with op, left the place

i was only in dublin for 2 nights in 1987, it was like new york with the sirens going through the night,

I wholeheartedly agree OP. Dublin has too many state dependent scumbags. That's the problem. It's mostly a social welfare city. That's what you get. When given things people won't respect things so they make a sh!t of the place.

Yep. Was out in the city till last night. Amazing atmosphere, great food, went to a few different bars, had good fun with friends and randomers. Ended up strolling from Harcourt st. to Amiens st. place was hopping. A stunning, vibrant, diverse city. Heading for the beach now. Not many capital cities have numerous beaches!

Are you living in the same Dublin I am?

Back in the city centre now. Spotless and stunning.
