Yeah... get rid of the dockers and locals... fill the place with bankers and financial services.... what could possibly go wrong...

[@danielkelly5112]

The truth of it is. . Dublin corporation wanted the Sheriff Street community out of there. . They knew it would take time but that didn't bother them. . They purposely suppressed new employment from coming into the area in order to keep the people down and in doing so would almost certainly run the area down. . It worked. .The corporation got the land and the rest is history. . The place is unrecognisable today with fancy building all over the place .. but in saying that. ..living conditions are a hell of a lot better today around the area. ..

And to think it got a lot worse a few years later when the heroin arrived. If the drugs never arrived the remaining communities would be thriving today

I guess the construction of the financial services provided a lot of jobs for the community, while it lasted

[@SineadMolloy-fe9gs]

2023 just moved out of Dorset st flats they are still moving us out and there won’t be a return for the real inner city dubs

[@deeppurple883]

2023 we have the makings of this happening again. Pent up human anger, trouble simpering until it explodes. Apartments are the one to watch. The new Tenements, Apartments. We are riding high in 2023 but the lows are not far behind. We have a two in one government, it's like jigs and reals. One steps in and one steps out again. Job's for the boy's. Nothing new under the Sun ✌️☘️
