🇮🇪 Is Ireland Safe? A Look Around ‘Dangerous’ Dublin City

[@bogtrotterErin]

I’d love to hear some thoughts on any of the content in this video. Thanks.

[@jordieg-us4ee]

Very confrontational with the man and the horses outside the storehouse. The "why would you do it for free" (twice) or the "I'm just down the road". The chap was being nice, good to see you change your tune so quickly. I'm from Dublin 7 myself & sometimes the most confrontational or "dodgy" people in Dublin are the locals, as I'm sure you know yourself. Great content, you've a new subscriber here.

[@bogtrotterErin]

@@jordieg-us4ee About 2 hours ago I was at a crowded bus stop around rush hour. A horse an carriage pulls up beside me and it was Paddy who gave me a lift home. We're very good friends. We are both locals. Good to have you here. Thanks for the sub. Heres a bit more of us together.

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.

[@bogtrotterErin]

Great to hear you’re somewhere nice and safe. I spent quite a bit of time all over East Europe and can’t say I ever felt unsafe. Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland. Never had hassle. But then I don’t really here either. I wonder how you’ll feel if you pop back here. It’s changing so fast my friend. Good and bad. Anyway, that’s for the comment and cheers if you subbed. Nice to hear from you. Peace.

There are some wonderful architectural structures and sites to see within the Capital of Ireland Dublin.

Thanks for commenting. Safe hostels. Single room with lockable doors. Talking to a chap sleeping on the streets yesterday evening. He’s not taking drugs and won’t stay in hostels because they are 10 to a room and almost all using. Then there was the bomb last month of course. Peter Mc Ferry has done a lot for this city. I know people he’s helped in situations with money straight out of his pocket that have such kind words for him.

[@niall5797]

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 🤷‍♂️

[@bogtrotterErin]

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.

Dublin is safer now than it was in the 80’s, the violent, poor and depraved areas are still concentrated it predominantly Irish neighbourhoods.

Awash with vice and idleness. The streets stink of urine and fetal matter. People who barely speak English just milling about. It’s no place for children anymore.

De centralise drug treatment/ Injection clinics/ Methadone treatment more out of the city centre. The likes of Pearse St, Merchants Quay etc. attract addicts and dealers. every town has a drug problem, so treat the addicts locally whenever possible. Look at Coolmine, it's successful because it takes people out of that environment. What chance has anyone getting clean in a hostel or tent in the city.

[@bogtrotterErin]

As the people in my videos say friend, there’s no point going to rehab and returning to hostels or the streets. I don’t think the SIF’s will be moved as the city is where people score. I worked as a counsellor and in a needle exchange for MQI. SIF’s will save lives here. Deaths from overdose are almost equal to deaths on the roads here. SIF’s will also help clean needles and other drug taking paraphernalia off the streets and parks. Drug dealing in the area will not change as a result of SIF’s. It’s already here.

Do you know something but one of the worst things I ever witnessed in Dublin ever was down a similar Machete Laneway when a Dublin girl clearly badly badly ravaged by drugs asked me one night was "i lookin for business" if it was a Mugging I don't think would have bothered me as much as one of my own People engaging in Prostitution to support a drug habit, i suppose just cos it is so rare to encounter in my experience. On a lighter note, St Audeons is grand park, Napper Tandys old house was there, there's a Musical block as well that produces some nice notes.

[@bogtrotterErin]

Terrible about the girl having to approach you. The musical notes in Audeons park is in one of the videos.

I've lived in the city centre for ten years, like any major city it has its problems but overall Dublin is a very safe city. People would do well to try and remember back to how Dublin was long before the Celtic tiger during the heroin epidemic in the 90s. And I'd love someone to point me to the point in history where there was no crime in the Hibernian metropolis. Dodgy characters are part and parcel of living in a city, and most times they’re not dodgy at all, just your fears and imaginations playing tricks on you.

Hi

[@bogtrotterErin]

Hi

[@Karmaisveryreal-j2]

One thing I know and I don't travel out much to the City from South Side, but only have to walk up O Connell Street and it's not safe 🙏🏼 for women ♀️ or children, as I'm a mother of you, son grown up working etc, I've a young girl whom I'm frightened for as I do have family but I'd have to go through Dublin City centre. Day or night 🌃 not safe and things are travelling over this side slowly dumdrum Dublin 14, I wouldn't even walk alone in a park 🏞️ with my daughter anymore because of immigrants illgell middle age men 🙏🏼 💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@bogtrotterErin]

I hear you friend

Did you email?

[@Sodonewithchaos]

It’s not that dodgy…worse here in Toronto …guns now and East Asian gangs. 🤬🤦🏼‍♀️. Drugs in small towns. And sadly indigenous reservations in states of emergency from opiates. Not to mention the homeless and housing crisis . I’m seriously thinking of moving to your green isle my friend. I’m 55 retired with good pension…time to live happy

[@bogtrotterErin]

Yeah go for it. There’s quite a bit of violence here at the minute but it’s minimal relatively. The homeless situation is bad. That’s my next video. Do a lot of research before moving here. Property prices are through the roof. Still. This country is pretty f***in awesome to live in.

[@Sodonewithchaos]

@@bogtrotterErin yes I have been researching and saving up since my last trip . Also trying to contact kin . I would love to renovate an old place. Heck , I’d be happy in a Caravan 🤣 . - 11C and snowing here . I’m done with This white crap 🤪

[@bogtrotterErin]

@@Sodonewithchaos there’s grants for renovating derelict old houses on islands. That’d interest me. Done a lot of caravan life too. It’s -2c now. That’s doable in a caravan.

[@niallbourke7963]

Yeah, Dublin ain't that bad. London far worse for example.

[@bogtrotterErin]

@@niallbourke7963 do you reckon? Where abouts? I lived in London for many years but I do feel safer here.

[@doragibbons2977]

I’m from Dublin born and bread I’ve never been to that side of the town before I stay local north side since all the foreigners arrived in our town and country it’s not safe anymore Sadler but our government don’t care about their own people they have turned our town Ito a third world 😢

[@bogtrotterErin]

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.

[@doragibbons2977]

Government is responsible for this our own people on the streets and their only concern if you can call it that is refugees coming in to our country constantly and wondering were the can house them in the meantime no accommodation for our people with nowhere to sleep but it will continue until people come together and stand up for our rights to a better future for them

[@bogtrotterErin]

I couldn’t agree more. That’s the topic of my next video and I’m getting views from homeless guys on the street. This government is a scandal with very badly chosen policies and procedures. Shame on them.

[@CarlosGambino_22]

Extremely dangerous😂😂 yet you walk around filming and chatting😂😂 Dublin isn't dangerous

[@bogtrotterErin]

I think the phrase used was ‘said to be’

what are the gun laws in Ireland? I would definitely buy a gun. Dublin looks like a shit hole. greetings from NYC.

[@bogtrotterErin]

Thanks for your comment. This video is highlighting the ‘shithole parts’. It has great beauty too. And we can’t carry guns here thankfully.

[@mobrienct]

Grew up in Broadstone. Living in America 33 years. Going home at Christmas. Any chance I can meet up with you and you can show me just how much the city has changed. Honestly I avoid Dublin if I can because I think it's become more of a kip really but still love it. Reach out. I'll give you my contact details.

[@Greyvetiver]

I have been living in Dublin since 2014, and the change for really bad was after the COVID and by that time wasn’t any refugee crisis. I respect your opinion but I think your portraying of the city js Bias and not accurate, there’s a lot of issues from neighbourhood that are not many foreigns livings there. Being self-critical about real local problems is not easy, but drawing a city ruined by illegal immigration in Dublin is at the very least biased and poor. That’s my humble opinion.

[@bogtrotterErin]

Thanks for commenting friend

Thanks for watching

[@barryosullivan1894]

I walk through that place all the time pal . Never had any bother it's a hell of a lot better then it use to be. When the barn was full of smack. It's all crack and meth now days . The brown isn't as popular as it use to be. Drugs now days are different there was no Crack cocaine crystal meth or spice. when I was a addict thank God. I'd no doubt be dead or have serious mental problems. Recovery is a beautiful thing ❤

[@bogtrotterErin]

Glad it’s going well for you Barry
