The responses to the
@dublininquirer.com
survay, which indicates that serious crime in Dublin City Centre may not be as bad as it is hyped up to be, make me even more sure that those who spread fear about the city centre are mainly people who visit it less than I do (I live in Mayo).

I'm a bit of a nerd about this - but it's hard to quantify just how popular Local Link buses have been in 'rural Ireland' - new one will link villages from Cork to Kerry that haven't had a bus service since the 1960s...

Just read the US venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale's VERY long blog on bringing back the 'aristoi' - by which I think he's suggesting that billionaires like him should be handed the reins of power ... because democracy is stopping a new gilded age. Such jumbled garbage that I had to read it twice.

There's been a great deal of debate about how safe Dublin city centre is, but when we

looked for data to resolve this, we couldn't find much useful â so we commissioned a survey to try to add some facts/data to the debate. Today we've published five articles about the results. 1/

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords. This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

There's a conspiracy theory that the person who set fire to the Ipas centre was a resident because he was "in his socks" but the video shows them wearing runners with white soles. It's desperate this has to be debunked but someone even posted this to Facebook to try to help the idiots understand:

Freedom of speech isn't that when you don't have the freedom to criticise (aka "shut down debate") when a leader says something so reckless -- key context missing in this article is that Harris made his comments not in general terms but to a question re rioters attacking Gardai and an Ipas centre.

Dublin is in the process of leapfrogging Copenhagen in terms of removing the dominance of traffic in its city centre, while the Danish capital is sitting on its arse obsessing over the idea of new motorway tunnels to remove traffic. Dublin already has nothing comparable to H. C. Andersens Blvd...

I have already ended up in a argument today with someone saying I shouldn't assume it was a far-right fire attack on an IPAS centre (following a number of far-right fire attacks on IPAS centres) because it was probably "kids messing with fireworks" so this is worth hammering home I think

Witches, monsters and ghouls: On your bike for the IBikeBoo cycle in Dublin City Centre tonight
Tonight's IBikeBop music-filled critical mass cycle around Dublin City Centre is the group's annual IBikeBoo -- the normal route around the city with a Halloween twist. The IBikeBoo cycle is being organised by campaign group I Bike Dublin, and Alternative Dublin City, a collective of artists, guides, and photographers. The latter is sponsoring a âŹ100 voucher for the best costume.

In an incredible turnaround, D66 - the Liberal Democrats' Dutch sister party - look to have won the election. Rob Jetten will get the first go at forming a governing coalition. If successful, he'll become both the youngest and the first openly gay Prime Minister in Dutch history.

Oh, wow, this is Claire Byrne's last show and she let they go... The rioters were trying to attack refugees in Citywest, and, when blocked, they flung bottles and bricks en masse at Gardai. These are thugs. They don't speak for most Irish people. They should not be influencing Govt policy.

The Friday panel on Today with Claire Byrne on RTĂ Radio is unreal. When Govt and others react to rioters who were trying to attack refugees and instead fling bottles and bricks on mass at Gardai, there should be questions about why Govt is giving in to violence.
