You mean the dissidents ? (That’s what we call them ) the provisionals lay down their arms a long time ago, paramilitary racketeering is being eaten alive by foreign drug gangs , we’ve got everything from Chinese to S.American kingpins muscling in on their territory, the internal feuds are wild.
The provisional IRA are still active.. they haven’t laid down there arms.. they are still the top dog in this country.. even the drug gangs have to go through them.. like you I thought they were long gone

They’re old men now resigned to doing raffles to regenerate Moore St 😂 the young lads are too careless and heavily infiltrated by M15 .
 
Surprised she’s been retained this long given the state of the country, Dublin now in the top 10 most dangerous places to visit.
 
Not just that article there’s numerous articles on Dublin safety even countries offering travel advice to their citizens travelling to Ireland.
There are indeed numerous articles but that article was clickbait, from the research of a gambling company, and nearly a year old.

Advising good personal security practices while traveling is standard for all countries. The US Department of State website currently says "Exercise normal precautions in Ireland."

That said, I'd be well up for McEntee getting binned!

Still not the " in the top 10 most dangerous places to visit" nor "in the top 10 most dangerous major cities in Europe"

This is the US alert from 2023 in full, it's pretty standard fare for a capital city, and good safety practices for anyone travelling.

Still listed as Normal Precautions at the moment https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...traveladvisories/ireland-travel-advisory.html
Dublin is nowhere near as dangerous as a lot of other capital cities, it has got more dangerous over the years, and has it's crappy places like most capital cities.
I'd be happy if the whole Government was binned, bunch of clowns.

Maybe it’s because I lived there so long I’m used to it but I still find Dublin so safe, the problem is people going to the “wrong” parts because it’s cheaper. That’s where you’re going to bit with crime. It’s like visiting London and going staying in brixton or Hackney (pre gentrification) . Dublins smaller so people book hotels around the inner city north side without doing research and wonder why they have trouble.

These type of headlines were beamed around the world including all the American stations there’s definitely been a marked deterioration in Dublin both in safety and cleanliness.
I remember this, it’s so ridiculous. Other countries expect Ireland to be all diddly diddly and Céad Míle Fáilte when there’s a serious problem with crime, poverty and drugs the same as every where else.

those articles were mainly around the time of the anti immigration protests weren’t they? Whereas the protests saw in England after Southport attacks were worse and on a larger scale.

Were they? I thought it was after the tourists were attacked? It’s obviously widespread but ironic that the north is packed with tourists even during rioting season , our tourist industry is built on the troubles 😂

‘Anti immigration protests’, do you mean when children were stabbed outside a school in broad daylight?

That kind of thing would have been unthinkable in Ireland at one point. Now it seems that violent crimes are happening all the time
