Re: New arrival - Life in Donabate

it is my opinion that this town will become a hive of anti social behaviour in the next 10 to 15 years. It's just my opinion but it based on what we have seen down through the years in many many parts of Dublin.... ...If i was starting a family again and looking for a place to buy, then it wouldnt ...

Re: Illegal right turning at Semple Woods

Fr Jack, As an expert on idiots you’ll certainly know that only idiots ask questions they don’t know the answer to, you’ll also know that only idiots wouldn’t know the relevant roads legislation and/rules of the road without seeking to point out relevant breaches. As an expert you might therefore po...

Re: The Gallery - Still a good buy?

Ha almost! I’ll be renting it soon as I’ve bought a new house in Donabate. Good luck with viewing, the Gallery is a lovely spot.

Re: This place is getting worse

Sorry, comment WAS NOT directed at you 🙈 I agree with your concerns but the topic post is a bit sensationalist, as “getting worse” suggests that it is already a bad place, which it isn’t. I think we’re probably on the same page and are advocating for a better/improved or continued sense of good comm...

Comment was directed at you - the general trend of this forum is scaremongering and doom and gloom, which is disappointing. Donabate is a great area but the impression been given from this forum suggests the opposite. Swords 30 years ago didn’t have all that. I know it’s not like with like but I sup...

I’ve had the same neighbour since 2006 above me and various tenants next door have never been an issue. Originally it was young couples and singles who lived here but now it’s great to see kids playing...
