Traders, residents, workers, tourists all say it’s not safe. However our leaders say it is. So they must all be mistaken.
That photo they used is very misleading! You don’t see enough Gards on the street, let alone Garda vans
“He also noted that Dublin has about 1,000 fewer gardaí than similar sized cities elsewhere in Europe”
God help the school system now she has a new role
The boring answer is that Dublin is very safe and has a very low rate of violent crime. What has changed in recent years is the hysterical obsession with individual crimes and people’s inability to critically analyse data.
Generally speaking I feel safe in Dublin but it’s blatantly apparent that there isn’t enough visible policing on the streets – especially in the areas that see a lot of crime and high footfall.
I can see why people feel unsafe walking around the likes of O’Connel Street, Talbot Street, both sides of the quays, Camden Street, Temple Bar side streets etc. The corner of Westmoreland Street & Aston Quay is 24/7 drug dealing and has been for years, why they can’t sort that out is beyond me – it’s so obvious and no one cares.
The only time I see Guards on the street is either a busy bank holiday weekend or an event. I’m sure there are stats to prove me wrong, but from a visibility perspective and peoples perceived safety I think there’s a lot to do.
Cue usual “Dublin is safe” comments, shur tis grand, let’s do nothing.
What did the former Justice Minister say?
The horse has already bolted
Maybe now that it’s happening on the leafy southside they might do something about it
Jim O’Callahan has said a few times now that certain areas of Dublin are not safe at certain times of the day.
I’d love to see that list Jim, let’s see if you have the balls publish it.
Dublin city centre particularly north side is dantes inferno.
Absolute kip
