One of my buddies with me told me that kids pushed HIS car from outside the same house when he was visiting and set it on fire just for badness at the end of the street.Bad news when you are told not to drive through parts of it at night,same for ballymun.....Sad indeed.

Ballymun is now an area of houses and apartments.
I worked part time as a security guard in Ballymun Shopping Centre and used to wonder who the media were talking about when they wrote such negative stuff about that area. I never had any real trouble there, and indeed could walk through the area after dark in my security guard's uniform and was never approached by anyone.
Recently I had a chat with an inspector from the new Garda station. During the conversation he mentioned that gardai love to be assigned to Ballymun because it has such a low incidence of crime.'Never look down on a person unless you're helping them up'.
