Non-Dubliner Irish people who have lived and worked in Dublin for years who still go "down home" at every opportunity, who refuse to get to know their neighbours or join in any local activities and then moan about the lack of community in Dublin.

In fairness, you could say the same thing about relocated, commuting dubs living in Meath, Louth etc.
if wherever they are from really was better, they'd still be living there.
Newsflash!!! Supermacs and McDonalds on the main street of the capital doesn't make it cosmopolitan.
Will I get away with a fine, or would you expect a short prison sentence.
I honestly find it hard to think that Ministers et al are blagging overseas trips.
If they could afford to
...which reminds me of something a neighbour said to me a few years ago that there are loads of 20 and 30-smoething people living in housing estates around the country waiting for their parents to die so that they can afford to move back to where they came from.
People who park up at the filling station, leave their car at the pumps after its been filled with petrol, go into the shop with the 2-3 snotty kids, proceed to buy 2 slices of various processed meats for the kids lunch, (he'll only eat ham and she'll only eat chicken carry on etc). Then has a chat with bridie from down the raod about all the homework the poor 7 year old gets, then row with the kids about getting sweets only to give into them in the end, then realises she needs milk, starts the process over again, says good luck to bridie, and out into the car to strap in the 3 whelps that should be well able to walk up to the shop and get the messages for her.. then remembers she nearly forgot to pay the attendent. makes a joke with him about same. straigtens herself and looks in the rear view mirroe, salutes me and then drives off.. all the while i just want to get €10 worth of unleaded and go home and there she is holding up the whole show...
Adults and/or kids who judge people by their handouts on HalloweenThe house that gave my grandaughter loose two loose "coca cola" sweets wrapped in toilet paper last night. Their two 08D cars in the driveway didn't quite match their generosity.
micmloDublin focus on this site.
Sure look at liaconn's post above.
Going into Dublin city centre is never mentioned here, it's going into town and if you don't know that's Dublin they you are supposed to assume it.
