    Good schools, convenient location, fibre broadband, good mobile coverage, no anti social problems. Well established area.

    Thinking of moving to Dromiskin myself. What's it like now? Has it got a little "rougher" recently? Always seemed a nice wee place but I haven't been out there for a few years.

    Anyone any local knowledge? Drove through it earlier and seems a nice spot. A few sold signs in the area.

    Is it still the same now as when that was posted?

    It's a disaster
    In the short 15 months since my last post

    Schools replaced by hedge schools
    All access roads blocked
    Fibre replaced by ISDN dial up
    Mobile replaced by smoke signals
    Nightly race riots


    And to top it all off....now no more Sunday mass, only Saturday night.


    But welcome !!

    Well, all it takes is a few gurrier families and their teenage tear aways to move in and bring down the reputation of a nice place..... But thanks for your sarcastic reply anyhow.

    My sense of humour is fine.... Take your sarcasm over to the After Hours forum, you'll get more appreciation there.
    I'm just looking for honest, informative opinions on a place.

    Nothing has changed since the earlier post, which was accurate. It was just over a year ago.

    It's honestly much nicer now than it was even a few years ago imo, which isn't to say it was in any way bad before, but a lot has been put into community development. It has one of the best tidy towns committees in the county I would say. There's also been a lot of impetus put on its historical significance and interest.

    There's loads of plaques in place now all over the village and its surrounding area outlining the history and significance of various landmarks and structures.

    All in all it's a nice place to be. And that's from an outsider who doesn't live there.

    Thanks for that, good to hear. We're looking at a few different places near Dundalk. We've 2 young kids, is there a small playground in Dromiskin? I know there's one in Blackrock which is not too far away.

    Hi Guys,

    We have been looking at houses in Dromiskin as relocating from Dublin to be closer to home. Is there a bus of any sort from Dromiskin to Dublin without driving in to Dundalk? seems like a lovely village from any visit we have made.

    168 from Dromiskin Cross to Drogheda, or 100 from anywhere on the Dundalk-Castlebellingham Road (can be waved down) to Drogheda, and then swap to the 100x.

    Hey guys, would anyone have any idea who the best broadband provider is in the area, with best speed. My wife will be working from home on a regular basis and we have just bought a property in the area. Thanks a mill
