Why is Dublin such a shιtty city?

Just wait till all the guys with their liberal attitude to drug laws get their ultimate wish.

Dublin will resemble something out of a zombie apocalypse movie. You'll be wading knee deep through rivers of needles and running the gauntlet from hordes of the tracksuit clad un-dead.

Should be fun! :)

Cork isn't much better, like most of our major cities that have fallen apart without proper visible policing and just an acceptance of its ok to drink and take drugs in public.

What, do really need a list of museums, parks, beaches, galleries, restaurants, trad sessions, sports events, distilleries, breweries, markets, civic squares, tours, theatres, bus tours, river tours, sea safaris, cultural tours, castles and islands in Dublin?? He couldn't come up with five things to do in Dublin so my point A is proven... these threads end up with the realisation that a lot of Irish people haven't a clue what's on offer in the cultural hub of the island.

I'm constantly amazed that true blue dubs, born and bred like yourself are as ignorant to what your capital has to offer as you admit.

Good man john,

If you put it up to the Irish nation....is Dublin a kip or not? I think you'd have your answer .

That's the long and the short of it.

Scribble away on boards all day if you like but that's the reality.

Don't follow your point at all but bang away there....are you in the right thread?

OK,I don't follow what you're on about but so be it.Good luck with it.

John....you're wound up again, a thin skinned dub is not a rare thing.I thought we addressed this in other posts.

I'm a Dub who actually loves Cork, and I have a good pal from Cork who loves Dublin, the weirdo...

He's not like the rest of the Corkonians... 😋

Dub that loves Cork here & know plenty of Corkonians that love Dublin.

I've always been amazed at how quickly the character of Dublin can change when travelling only a few hundred metres. It can get hostile very quickly.

I've lived in the city centre for 12 years, the deterioration in that time is huge. ~Grand Parade, Paul St and Daunt Square are just a sea of scumbags, junkies, homeless and drunks. I've never had a problem myself but the area is littered with drug paraphernalia, regular assaults and muggings. It's sad to see the dublin-ification of it.

I have never felt more uncomfortable though than the centre of Tralee.

It seems to be a thing where non Dubs hate Dublin but think Galway is the best place in the world. Galway is two streets surrounded by a constant traffic jam and it rains every day. Nice for a short visit but I don't get the hype about the place.

So Malahide, Portmarnock, Blackrock, Dalkey, Dun Laoghaire, Howth as well as many other parts are also a kip? You'll actually find they are some of the nicest spots in Ireland. Your from Dublin and yet you seem like someone who has never stepped outside Dublin 1. Lots of people on this thread need to go back to school and learn what a kip actually is

Dublin is the county attracting the most overseas visitors and tourist spend, followed by Galway, Cork and Kerry, the figures show. Ireland welcomed nine million overseas tourists in 2017, with a combined spend of €4.9 billion, according to the Fáilte Ireland figures.

The administrative counties of Dublin City (91,876 persons), Fingal (46,909) and Cork County (42,002) had the highest numbers of non-Irish nationals in 2016.

I suspect some people have never left Ireland in their life... Compared to other major EU cities Dublin is nothing to look at. Spend a week in Berlin and come back to Dublin. The difference is shocking, it's day and night. Some of the coastal parts of Dublin are not so bad at best but that is all I will say about it.

Is it just Dublin that is horrible in comparison to European cities? I mean Cork and Limerick aren't great really, most of our towns and villages are horrible. Is it only Dublin you think is sh*t or all of Ireland?

I have lived in many different countries and now I work in the Baggot St area and the whole extensive around there is just lovely. There's more to Dublin than O'Connell st and its surrounds.

As a resident, can confirm Dublin to be a **** city. Source is the amount of **** I have to avoid on the streets walking to work (D1), and the worry is whether it is dog or human export.

Goes without saying the damage covid has done, but one massive positive is allowing remote workers to get away from the concrete kip.

Lol, who told you that? I can see junkies, business people, office workers, tourists, Gardai, Roma gypsies... the full gamut of the cities dwellers and visitors on google street view at the Spire!! So can you! You can also see the ground, the footpaths and roads and there's a significant lack of the fabled amounts of litter and rubbish. I'm in the city right now and it's clean.

Sorry to burst the hate bubbles boys.

What's that about lack of litter? 🤣

3 days? I'm just after checking there now. You asked for a google streetview. The images are from July 2021 and you saying there's no litter there now lol.
