Enough is enough? Dublin north inner city crime

Yep, our "precious democracy" needs to be protected by providing increased security detail for politicians, gender re-education for kids, hotels for economic migrants and green taxes for the rest of us. Every single other request is just fake news from "racist" "far right" Irish citizens.

From Twitter!

I see the GoFundMe to bring his family over from US was looking for $10k they are now at nearly $25k, some anonymous punter gave $2500. The government or Tourism Ireland really should be standing in here to offer support, this shouldn't be happening 100m from a Garda station in the capital city.

I still don't think body cams are in use..bizarre really at this stage... legislation has dragged on and on for an age.

Higher taxes

Punish people who are working because of the behaviours of well fed parasites? "They contribute nothing" who are you even on about here? It's like earlier in this thread posters stating that the solution to inner city criminality is for even more social housing in the centre of Dublin.

Where are we going with all this? More social housing, welfare traps, intergenerational criminality and antisocial attitudes, government funded private rentals, homeless shelters, drug treatment centres, injection rooms, unaffordable housing for workers forcing them to move and commute, criminals being seen as victims.

This seems to be what people want. I don't think Ireland or Dublin are willing to tackle this issue. I'll just avoid the area. Good luck with the thriving "community" you're building

Yeah it's improving all the time although it might not seem like it.

All statistics on homicide, burglary, car theft etc have been trending downwards for years.

The North East Inner City has an interesting history. It had Monto, the docks, tenemant housing.

Apparently it was the combination of containerization in the 70s and heroin from early 80s which destroyed the area. Containerization caused mass unemployment. Then the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the Iran Revolution in 79 than caused Europe to be flooded with heroin.

So it's had a long history of poverty and deprivation.

Heroin use has been dropping steadily in Dublin for years though and access to education and training has improved.

So the area is gradually improving.

People really are a product of their environments though. Kellie Harrington and the lad from "Talking Bollix" podcast both got in to drink and drugs very young, but grew out of it and took a different path. If they'd been born in the countryside, it's likely they would've never been exposed to drugs at least.

I'd like people like them consulting on social projects in the inner city since they've been there and done that.

It has a huge amount of social housing though in a small area, so it would be good to spread it out a bit.

I agree about mixed housing developments, that's the ideal really.

But I think it's difficult in a housing crisis with such of shortage of social housing and normal housing and so many homeless.

Ideally you wouldn't have 100% social housing, it'd be maybe 20 to 30%, with the rest cost rental and affordable etc. But where do you move the 70% social housing people to, there's no option. Maybe in time we'll have enough stock to tackle it properly.

Really NE inner City area should be very desirable place to live eg Sheriff St, Summerhill, Gardiner St but I wouldn't feel comfortable there and I'm a grown man.

I agree also that most of the deprivation has moved to the edge of the city like Finglas, Ballymun, Darndale, Cherry Orchard, Jobstown. I'm not sure is this better or worse. Out of sight, out of mind. It doesn't solve the root of the problem, just brushes it under the carpet.

The inner suburbs like Cabra, Crumlin, East Wall, Drimnagh, Inchicore etc are in the process of gentrification.

Indo says arrest imminent

The feral scumbag and scum parents should be named and shamed
