Yer man from the Temple Bar traders was a clown. Its all the drug users fault, and then the clincher to prove he's a clown, we never turn away customers. I take it hes never went through some of the interrogation procedures employed by doormen. Well Mr self righteous, yes drug users may be a part of the problem, but as much responsibility lies with the average scrote who has no problem attacking people or damaging property or whatever else. The ills of society do not fall squarely on drug users. Parents, Gardai and the judiciary for example are all to blame as well as the legislators. When you bump into someone in a queue apologise and still get dragged around and slashed theres something very wrong in society.

Dublin be needin' a Hamsterdam, yo.



Quality song about the dog, by the way. Was in my head all night.

Although I couldn't disagree with anything you've said here, the amount of junkies around the O'Connell St. area is a fairly serious problem that needs to be addressed. I spent four years in DIT and love Dublin. It's a great city to head out in but it didn't take me too long to realize that you're better off away from O'Connell St./Abbey St. area at night. I had to do a runner out of Burger King there a couple of times after getting started on by junkie gimps in tracksuits for f**k all. (One time because of my bogger accent believe it or not! ) Also the area between O'Connell bridge and Custom House Quay is mental with the amount of blatant drug dealing and using that goes on there (or used to a few years ago anyway). I used to walk along there to get to Busaras and even though the majority of the drug users there are only really harming themselves, it can be intimidating to people and it definitely gives a bad impression of the city to tourists. Surely the methadone clinics would be better off away from parts of the city where tourists are likely to be?

Most of dublins main hostels are around these areas so it must paint a terrible picture

One Ear Up, One Ear Down

I knew Eugene, sound fella. I still cant believe it.
