Dublin city centre safety fears are growing as people on the streets speak out about crime, pickpocketing, knife threats, street disorder and whether Ireland’s capital still feels safe.
People in Dublin shared their honest views on how the city has changed, with some saying they no longer feel comfortable walking alone, working late or moving through parts of the city centre at night. From women describing frightening experiences to workers speaking about threats, theft and anti-social behaviour, the interviews reveal a deep sense of frustration about what life in Dublin feels like now.
The conversations also touch on wider concerns around public safety, policing, social pressure, homelessness, begging, benefits, immigration, and whether ordinary people feel listened to by those in power. Some say Dublin is not like it used to be, while others describe the reality of living and working in a city where people feel increasingly on edge.
