In town on Saturday- shocking

I was in town for a few hours on Saturday afternoon for the first time in a while, my god.

The amount of homeless / addicts begging on the streets was unbelievable, on every block. Including a guy I went to school (Ard Scoil) with, from a “good family” on the Ennis Road. 3 of them, including a woman, had clearly been fighting recently as they all had fresh wounds on their faces.

Open drug dealing on O’Connell street and the stink of piss on Bedford row was disgusting.

I walked around doing bits for about 2 hours, many Munster fans around, but no police to be seen, and the biggest sense of menace I’ve ever felt in Limerick, having lived here pretty much all my life.

Sorry to say, but as long as town is like that, I will be staying well clear.
