Do you think bad areas deserve the reputation that they have?
If you type into Google, ‘areas to avoid in Dublin’, a website will pop up by a person that was clearly house hunting in the past and decided to make a website about it.
On this website it has three lists. They are ideal area, ok areas and not suggested areas to live in.
Some people on social media have taken exception to the website and believe it’s wrong to label an area as a place to avoid when buying a house. One person said about the website:
This is disgraceful. I am absolutely fuming. How dare they put Finglas South in as an area to avoid? I am from the area and you will not get nicer people. We have the best community spirit. Every area has a level of anti-social behaviour because guess what! We are all human! I hate that some people think they are better than others and go on stigmatising certain places because they may not be as well off as others. Disgraceful!
Some of the areas in the areas to avoid on the website are:
Finglas South
Blanchardstown
Ballyfermot
Clondalkin
Tallaght
Rialto (especially around St. James hospital)
The Coombe
Cathal Brughal St. (and the area around it)
Mountjoy
East Wall
There are so-called bad areas all around the country. People in Cork will say that southhill, Moyross, Blackrock, Knocknaheney and other areas.
Do these areas deserve the bad reputation they have?
