Talk:Ballymun/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'd love to know who wrote this piece on Ballymun! Its no reflection on the Ballymun of present! I suspect its someone from the Ballymun Regeneration limited who's still trying to flog some dodgy 'private appartments' for 250,000 euro and get some tennants for the dozens of vacant commercial units. As of April 2008, behind the new facade of the main street, Ballymun is a hidden ghetto for what an American would call the 'poor (catholic) white thrash' The place is still a dump! Except now there are even less green spaces. When I was growing up there, there was a wall 10feet high that ran from Santry avenue in Coultry, right around to Shangan and up to the Ballymun comp secondary school, that acted to insulate the middle class from the riff raff..... and guess what its still there and the people in those middle class neighbourhoods still try to get the access points blocked off.
