Is Ireland actually safe? Saw it in like the top 5 and top 10 for safest euro countries, but I always had this image of it being similar to the UK (stabbings), plus some troubles' leftover violent moids, idk. Sorry if this question is too loaded.

>>2225108Meh, I'm from Dublin and it's not that bad. It's fine if you have common sense and don't stray into shit areas. You're describing it like it's a warzone where women can't step outside without a foreign person assaulting them but as someone who was born, grew up and still lives in Dublin the worst thing I'd be worried about in the city centre is getting spat on by Empathchan. Literally don't go to shitty side alleys on the Northside at night and you'll be just as safe as any other city in Europe. Ireland and Dublin are very safe and most people who aren't terminally online culchies aren't afraid of seeing an immigrant.
We don't have knife crime like the UK does, just because we're neighbours doesn't mean we have the same societal problems or crime rate. The UK has a far larger population and much worse social deprivation than Ireland so naturally they have worse crime than us. And the Troubles were 30 years ago, as long as you stay out of the shit parts of Belfast on July 12th it's fine.
I don't know if I'd move to Ireland for other reasons (high rent, expensive groceries, bad public transport, dirty buildings, awful fashion, high cocaine usage, high amount of homelessness) but from a safety standpoint it's the same as most places in Western Europe. If you take normal travel precautions you'll be fine.

that bad compared to some, but it got so much worse after the pandemic. I live in a relatively good middle class neighborhood, and yet we have a lot of homeless around (nothing against them, they're not violent or anything, it just makes me feel like shit to see people living in such conditions) and there was recently a shooting where I usually catch my bus home, which I have never seen happen in my 30 years living in this place. I've never been mugged tbh, but my sister has not been so lucky and even had a gun pointed to her head once. (and firearms are illegal here kek)
Sorry to blog, but that's the kind of stuff that really makes me want to move to a safer place. I wish I could walk home at night, but I can't even do that around my city
