Polite request for Dublin based posters

To each their own.

I live in Dublin and have never had a problem in the city centre. I agree that the price of housing is higher but that's because demand is higher and that's because most of the people who were born over your way seem to want to live here ;)

I have lived in Dublin and away from it and I can see the attraction of both but I find there is nothing like strolling around this city centre on your own for an hour in the early evening watching it change from a place of work into a place of entertainment and soaking up the changing vibe of the place as it happens. Then a nice meal with friends in any of the dozens of ethnic of classical restaurants within a square mile of college green and then one of the many different style of pubs (depending on what mood takes you) for a drink of two.

I reckon Dublin is a great place if you are young (< 30). After that it's a dump. Had many great times there but glad to get out when I did.

Could endorse that statement. Plus, you can still get the best bits of Dublin on a weekend if you want.

Most people dont get benefit out of Dublin's attractions during the week - they just work & go home, like most of the rest of the country. So its not like country living forever denies you the good bits about Dublin life.

Its more the "maintenance" factors that make Dublin less attractive imho - i.e. jumbo mortgages, traffic, cost of living, schools, excessive "post code stratifying of society".
 
Ahh that's why I got it wrong on the M50 didn't know it was just for culchies, though it's strange that the culchies get their car registration done in Dublin as most of the number plates I saw had a D reg.

They're all "going home" for the weekend.
 
What - worse than the nightmare where an axe maniac is after you and you can only move... really....slowly?

In recent years I have noticed a large influx of refugees from Dublin to the west. And these are true blue Dubs - born and bred.

What's that about my Jackeen friends ? Ye are most welcome of course

Is it "all these highs and lows" ?

One reason for Dubs to move to the sticks; House price increases driven by the influx of refugees from the bog into our fair capital (the ONLY capital ninsaga;)) :p
