No I'm south of southside, but I drank in them all over the years. No my local is worse than all them. I'm alright there, but you wander in and act silly...different story.

How do you know he concealed it? It was reported as being a utility knife, could have used it for work work or bike repaired, etc..
If as you say "we all know there are a lot of scumbags around this town", why isn't something done about it, what are the powers that be waiting for? Why so blasé?
Start with all the junkies, push them out. Put the methadone clinics in areas such as large industrial estates, one on the north side and one on the south side. If junkies hang around O'Connell Street/Westmoreland, etc. put them in buses or vans and drop back to the outskirt industrial area. Ban every kind of loitering while inebriated, booze or drugs. Clean the center up...
This is a case of roaming scum trying to rob poor hardworking people. How could this even be a debate?

What your saying makes sense and has made sense for many many years, the city centre at night for me is a no go area after 8Pm, and during the day some areas all the time,
Why has nothing been done ????
The Garda walk past people dealing drugs not far from Store Street garda station every day but do nothing , maybe there is a reason ??
