Cork city has gone to the dogs.

Park a Garda car at the top of Patrick St at night and leave the lights on, it works in other European cities as a deterrent, simple but effective.

This poor woman that died, I thought I recognised her - did she have an aerosol type addiction. Reason I ask that if it's her then I was talking with her briefly on North Main st last week. She seemed nice & I'm hoping in a way it wasn't her tbh.

Jesus I think you're right, she'd always be on the doorstep outside An Cruiscin Lan inhaling God knows what out of an aerosol can

She asked me for some money when I was passing her on the doorstep around there, and as I bent down to give her some I saw the aerosol. She gave a nice smile & thanked me and I talked to her about the aerosol, just saying that you need to get off that stuff before it really harms you. She just smiled back and thanked again. I really felt for her. I know she's one of many but it stuck with me afterwards. Poor girl.

I'd go into the shop there on the corner of South Main Street and Washington Street late after work, I've seen her sit outside on the ground regularly and get her a box of wedges if they had anything left. You'd see some right dodgy heads around that shop late at night.

Yeah just confirmed with a friend that it's the same woman alright.

He said she didn't end up on the streets because she was a bad person. Life just wasn't kind to her.

Awful business.

As people rightly ask where the hell are the cops?

That's tragic. Poor woman. RIP

Have the culprits been arrested? Their names are out there like.

I work in the city centre and we were only saying in the office last week that there has been a noticeable increase in Gardai on the beat during the day around Merchants Quay, Patricks Quay area. Have seen them making a couple of arrests near Bus Station. Still enough to around the whole city and at night probably less again.

I heard the Christmas budget has kicked in so they've put foot patrols on the main streets. They are there to deal with any trouble with junkies & winos etc but not shoplifters. Mainly a visible presence. Too little too late for that poor woman who died.
