Will the northside ever change its ways?

[The Judge]

Just read an article on a burned out car abandoned up in Nashes Boreen and you have the same oul story.Local Sinn Fèin councillors calling on City Hall to close off the stretch to vehicles.But in my memory its always been a problem up the northside.Change this,close that,build this.Always reasons to chop and change something to stop these knackers from behaving like proper citizens.I grew up in the northside and it wasn't much better back then,so how long more does this shit go on for??

Issue with nashes boreen is farmers access to their lands.

Solution is to close nashes where ther are no houses but give the farmers alternative access??

City council had to clean up a place in Mayfield the tarry path? Loads of illegal dumping, people do it knowing council will eventually clear it,

The Northside needs to be sealed off: build a wall running from The Lee Fields all the way down to Mahon Point and coral them in.

Gurran, Mayfield, Knocknaheeny, Churchfield, Blackpool, Ballyvolane, Glanmire, should be turned into holding camps and residents should have to comply with a curfew.

In the thirteenth century only citizens were allowed inside the city walls after nightfall.

Proper order too.

Not until the people realise that they are a community and responsible for their environment and not expecting the Council to come up every day and clean up their self-created mess. The Council are partly responsible of course for putting in huge numbers of social houses concentrated in certain parts of the city 40 years ago rather than a mix-of public and private developments. They have some great amenities and hopeless politicians telling them every single day that it is all someone else's fault of course and promising to do something about it.

Too right m8, drowning horses beating babies to death and stabbing innocent young fellas in the neck is what the northside needs to aspire to.

Problem is, anyone with the means to purchase their own house don’t really want to buy where there are council tenants, especially if they are paying back 300k or 400k over 30 years.

Not saying it’s right, but it’s something developers would be conscious of.

That was clinical, m8.

Respect.

They are conscious of that now and it is only a 20% proportion of social houses in new developments.


The sprawling favelas of the Northside would not be built now.

Yep - people have to live in hotels and cardboard boxes instead.
