During the time I sit observing, or walking along the different sections, these are some of the things I see.
€50 notes changing hands for bags of white powder.
A man attempting to jab a needle into his thigh.
Two men fighting and wrestling each other to the ground.
One man kicking another in the head.
One man hitting another with a crutch.
People passed out, both on benches and on the ground.
Men urinating into the Liffey.
A man on a bike delivering a plastic bag of tablets to someone on a bench.
A man asleep on a pool of vomit.
Men and women drinking openly from cans, bottles and flagons.
Drunk people shouting and shoving each other as tourists pass by.
Men openly smoking marijuana.
People begging.
Discarded sleeping bags.
A burned-out rubbish bin.

Yep, "friendly folk,"
What a fucking dump.
