Sorry I had to jump in on this.
It seems pretty harsh to brand the entire county as a "cesspit". Even if you say it's just your opinion that "Dublin is not a very nice place" then say that instead of blasting the entire county as a "cesspit". Have some respect.
Obviously it has its rougher areas, like every city on earth, but you have obviously been scorned by one or maybe multiple sour experiences so if your opinion is that negative then maybe just keep it to yourself rather than offending the multiple people on this forum that are from or have association with Dublin. Been here all of my 30 years and despite the disastrous government, antiquated catholic laws and exorbitant house/rental prices, it's really not that bad of a place.
Anyway, just my two cents. Back to watching this slow motion car crash.
