It’s still a very, cool place to be. It gets more beautiful the older I get. I think you begin to see it differently and it’s more magical imo. Thanks for your comment Harry, and thanks if you subscribed.

Dublin born and bred, out of it for 14yrs now, only returned once in that time. Years before I left it was a dangerous kip, going into town at night, the atmosphere was violent. Living in an Eastern European country now. Have seen women walk through badly lit parks on their own late at night, after midnight at times. They were in no danger of being approached or assaulted. The only real danger here is from driving. I've driven all over Europe and I've never seen worse drivers than here. Road rage can be a problem.

Your videos are very informative and interesting, it show’s how like most city’s throughout the world there will always be a element of anti social behaviour.Personally I think the largest drug dealer in Dublin is Guinness, it has destroyed more families and sons and daughters than any other narcotics. There are some wonderful architectural structures and sites to see within the Capital of Ireland Dublin.

Great comment and very true about Guinness

Dublin has gone down hill in the last couple of years in particular...In my opinion it's mainly due to the massive amount of new arrivals...100s of thousands of them ...A huge amount are not even vetted 🤷‍♂️

@bogtrotterEringobrach

5 ай бұрын

Very true. The vetting processes have greatly let this country down. Also this situation where “refugees” were destroying their passports on the plane so we just had to believe where they were from. Only one case of someone doing this and going to trial. Also, people arriving from war torn countries who are living thousands of miles from the danger zones knowing that our customs guys can’t tell that as their passports have a country but not a region on them. We’ve been very lax and I hope it’s not too late to wean out the fake ‘economic’ migrants and those who just transferred from other European countries as Ireland had more to offer in terms of housing and benefits. Those benefits how and ever have been greatly reduced so we are not the glowing offer we have been previously.

Thanks for your comment Dora. I think a lot of people would agree with you. I’m Southside town centre and to be honest I feel pretty safe. I’m always around town. In terms of leaving our homeless guys in the street while seemingly housing anyone who arrives here without properly vetting them, I think it’s shameful. You would wonder what there agenda is. Although I have every empathy for the Ukrainian refugees and anyone who genuinely needs our help, the fact is this. We have taken in ten times the number of refugees that other European countries have. What’s that about? My next video is addressing that. We give all these tax breaks to multinational companies and become a wealthy country yet still can’t house our guys living in tents on Henry st etc. Makes no sense to me.
