I moved to Ireland looking forward to Irish nature,heritage, people...all l saw so far was junkies, muslims, drunk people fighting and fast food restaurants. So sad.
I live in the States and one of my dearest friend was from Dublin. I could listen to her talk for hours! Unfortunately, she passed a few years ago. I miss her lovely Irish accent ❤
Welcome to Ireland Kristin. The one thing I'd say about Dublin is that it doesn't give the full picture of what Ireland is like. I highly recommend you visit rural Ireland, especially some of the smaller towns in the South and West.
@@TravelingwithKristin didn't the guy at 2.20 tell you it's 2.5 hours to the west of Ireland? Well, a train trip to Athy is an hour from Heuston station and your in a the heart of rural Ireland.
Why would you recommend the towns and Villages of Ireland Now? So she can get Raped or Murdered by Thousands of Illegal Undocumented Government Protected African/Middle Eastern And Albanian Criminal Young Male Migrants 🧔🏿🧔🏾🧔🏻🧔🏼 ☠️🕳️
yeah, to meet people from all over the world. Love it! Just not so sure about its benefits for the locals or the tourist industry. Or anyone at all. Slainte, enjoy the lack of Irish culture, Tex Mex rules.
Please be careful if you're visiting Dublin, we have undergone a rapid population change in the past six months and it has disproportionally affected women.
@@Zepster77 Exactly - I enjoyed this video but it was striking when this woman said she had found it hard to find local Irish people in the capital city of Ireland. I dread to think where Ireland is heading - as these men aren't going anyway. Irish politicians may well end up delivering in a couple of decades what the British failed to do in 800 years. What is so bad about Ireland - you know actually being Irish. It everywhere ends up being the same its uniformity not diversity!
Kristin I have to say for someone who has been in Ireland for such a short time your knowledge on our history impressed me. You are a natual interviewer with people.
I love Dublin but far too many men in their 20's hanging around, that are seeking international asylum. They are undocumented, and fighting amongst themselves. There are many homeless Irish people also, that should get first dibs.
Agree with you 💯% take care of your own first! I've visited Dublin twice 2016/2017 very expensive with the euro! I'm disgusted by what's happening to Ireland and the UK, all Govts allowing in Illegal immigrants, majority being young fit men, putting them up in hotels, given food, money all free, while our own born and bred are juggling with heating or eating!
The Irish woman who lived in London said how much she liked the fact that Dublin is not Irish anymore and is more like another country!!! Made me feel sad and a bit sick and I'm not even Irish!!! Don't care about their own culture!!! Sad!!! Once it's gone, hundreds and thousands of years, you can't get it back!!! The middle class English don't like their own culture and people either!!!
Yep - fecks off to live in France and the Uk and comes back because Ireland is the only place she can afford a house - how gleeful she was at finding she didn’t have to hold her nose as all the Irish have been replaced.
The couple in Clontarf saying they love the diversity while living in one of the most exclusive and less diverse areas in Dublin is quite typical of some of the uppity champagne socialist types in Dublin, try ask people who's areas are being flooded with immigrants from Albania , Georgia or Somalia, us Irish always embrace immigrants that come here for the right reasons like working hard and making a contribution unlike the tens of thousands of men who arrive here with the promise of free stuff and have no intention of working , also crime is on the increase and the media and Garda are trying to cover it up or at least not reporting on the ethnicity of the criminals .
He's obviously retired and has a good connection to his favourite bench by the river!! Retirement is not for everybody and when it removes you from the harsh realities of everyday life for ordinary working people, it's never a good thing!!
Indeed. Certainly not the best. The tram and bus system exists, but as a tourist it was confusing and I ended up doing long walks instead of using the day tickets I bought. The regional train service seemed okay (went to Dun Laoghaire), apart from the preference for announcements spoken in gaelic, which most Irish people don't speak.
I am English and I lost my Irish friend of 45 years ,two weeks ago ….she was a fabulous lady and a great friend…My fathers family was 😊from Northern Ireland …..I have only been once and it was many years .NICE PEOPLE.
I just returned March 2023. I'll get hammered for this, but there is something the people who are clamoring for diversity don't realize concerning Ireland. The one thing that gets repeated is how friendly the Irish are. Tourism is one of, if not the biggest portions of the Irish economy. It employs nearly a quarter million people. One reason as it has been mentioned repeatedly in this video for the continued success of that tourism trade is the Irish people themselves. The more the government allows the 'barbarians at the gates" to enter, the faster the decline of Irish culture will occur because a priority is being place on "diversity" and NOT preservation of the Irish people or their way of life. One big sector of the Irish tourism trade is the "pub culture". What makes the pub culture unique is, and I'll say it again, the Irish people themselves and NOT foreigners behind the bar or waiting tables, no matter how friendly they might be. Thanks to government only doing the bidding of the EU and the NWO, Dublin will continue to go the way of London, Berlin, Paris, and Stockholm.
Sadly true. I’m Dublin born and bred but my parents are legal, law-abiding immigrants (my dad naturalised as Irish well over a decade ago now). Back when I was younger, all of us, no matter ethnicity, religion, etc. used to be Irish together, play GAA, football/soccer, cricket, tennis etc. all the same and there were very few issues. My mam is French and now I’m terrified (I’m not even white) to walk down the road in plain daylight in certain parts of *Paris City proper* due to the horrible way immigration has been managed. I’ve lived in England for 10 years and the same applies to South London, half of Birmingham, etc. Dublin isn’t what it used to be, and it’s getting farther and farther from it
One thing I'd add is that Dublin is a very low lying city with few high buildings. Even when you're in the city centre, you can still see the sky everywhere you go, which is nice.
Screw the skyline. I keep my eyes front in case I don't get mugged. We need sky scrapers to fix the housing Crisis and stop people relying on cars to travel so far
Me and my wife took our honeymoon to Ireland (both of us Irish have heritage) ... Spent time in Dublin and down south in Cork, Blarney and Kinsale .. absolutely amazing time and the ppl there were insanely nice and welcoming... I've been all over the Europe and Ireland is one place I'd love to live
As a Native Irish person Ireland has changed for the worse in my opinion, I'm sorry if you can't understand our worries, but on a recent Irish TV programme Virgin Media poll 90% of Irish Native asked if they support mass migration voted no before the media quickly took it down, we are not allowed to complain about the overpopulation 20% non Irish in just over 20 years, if we talk about it we're called racist, and bigots just because of wanting to preserve our Native Irishness and our history, lots of Native Irish would talk to you off camera because they would be afraid to loose their jobs for being racist
If people could get over the initial fear of social backlash and started voicing their concerns by the masses there would be virtually nothing these manipulative fr33ks could do to stop the tide and this crisis could start being reversed tomorrow. It's only when so very few are willing to speak out are they able to easily pick us off from the herd and continue on with their nation wrecking business as usual. And in case it's lost on some people, there is no one coming to save us. The future generations depend on us getting off our a$$ and actually doing something about it... do you really want to be remembered as a coward who was too afraid to speak up for your/your children's right to exist!? Please do your part by speaking out and urge your family & friends to as well!
As a « native Irish » you’re talking nonsense and probably living in an echo chamber. There is a lack of housing in Ireland and that has been the case for 20 years. Weird how my circles blame the government with there more than 1 billion euros unspent housing budget last year but your circles blame foreigners. And there is several black GAA players who are more Irish and I bet more patriotic than you so idk what you’re on about preserving Irishness. Just say it.
@@donfatale you mean people who are not as white as snow actually exist in Dublin? Been the case since at least the 1800s. Sorry if thé tourism board sold You a false image. Anyway don’t lose any sleep since Ireland is well over 90% white people and we breed like rabbits.
@@ant318 lad the whole immigration thing is shocking. We’re expected to just accept everyone that comes in and give them houses and there’s still our people on the streets living instead of being looked after like all the migrants coming in. Sure Dublin has become shocking the amount of male migrants coming up to girls and touching them and forcing themselves onto girls cause it’s acceptable to them but not here and it has happened multiple times to my girlfriend and I’ve seen it in person. We’re being failed by not protecting our own people and culture
I'm a spaniard who loves Ireland , I went there in 2007 to study and learn english , and I have good memories of that time , I also want to thank the irish for been part of the EU , if you want to retire in the sunny Spain you're welcome or to teach english in Spain you 're welcome all my respect to the irish people.
Hi Thank you for your nice comments, I have met many Spanish people and I have always found them to be so friendly and down to earth! Or as we Irish would say they are really good 'Craic'! LOL 😃 I hope you are enjoying your life in your homeland. Take care and Greetings from Ireland. 😃
I’m from Dublin , I have lived in London , I’ve lived in Milan. I now live in Barcelona and I couldn’t live anywhere else. The Spanish are not pretentious and are warm people.
There are apartments and homes to rent there for Spanish people also. So that's ok. What about a situation where there are no homes available in Spain, as in Ireland today? Are we all still welcome to move to Spain then?
@@aine1169 People should not be afraid to say what they think, even if it offends other people. Everything offends some people. People do not have a right not to be offended.
The couple saying they like how diverse Dublin is, could have easily stopped in London if that’s what they like but there is a reason people are leaving London and that couple know it but don’t want say.
Oh yes, because everyone thinks like you and the only reason everyone who doesn't say the same doesn't, is because they're afraid to say it. The saddest thing is, is I could say this to someone on the other side as well. Or maybe most people just get on with it, and don't identify with one set of pricks on the one extreme, or the other set of pricks on the other extreme? And as a white Londoner who moved out, please stop speaking for me. Thanks.
Yes, what's she yelling about anyway. I was born, grew up and lived in Ireland most of my adult life. I couldn't understand her. Is it me, or is it her?
Allegedly Micheal Martin used to spank Angela while wearing his altar boy outfit and it worked fine, however Scholz apppears to be less enthusiastic about the same treatment from Leo. Probably because the surplice doesn't fit and he can't pronounce the safe word (allegedly "éasafagas"). Of course everyone loves getting a bollocking from Michael D. You learn many new words and then get to pick him up, give him a kiss and a cuddle and then feel all warm and fuzzy.
Well done, Kristin, for a great selection of interviews. I was raised in Dublin for the first nine years of my life, then my family moved to London which is fifty years ago now. We never let go the strings that bound us to Ireland, but the trips home have not been as often as they once were. Believe it or not, when we left Ireland the population of Dublin was just something like 250,000, so that's a six fold increase over time, and yet, the city hasn't lost its intimacy and its friendliness. I'll look for your Belfast video now!
“It’s changed” in every western country, this is due to politicians living in their own privileged enclaves making various self righteousness ideological decisions that doesn’t not impact themselves, but the people pay the price. Just look at Sweden for example.
The transportation system in Ireland second to none? It's horrendous. It really only exists in Dublin and it's built for a population half that of Dublin.
@@ciaragallagher8583 still wouldn't call it great. Of course the newish motorways are nice but once more it's mostly focused on Dublin, Cork and Galway. But yes, it's a big step in the right direction. PS: my daughter's name is Ciara, lovely name.
I´d agree. Compared to Spain where you literally can get to any coastal point from Madrid on high-speed rail and America which is literally THE WORLD'S WORST, Ireland is closer to the US than Spain.
Go back even just ten years and you'd have mostly met Irish people. Dublin has not always been an "international city," this is very new and frankly unasked for. Our government is importing hundreds of thousands of people a year into a country with a population smaller than Boston. Irish people are having to leave because they can't afford housing.
International and diverse just means everywhere is now the same, it ruins the distinct nature of places. So many places now have a mind numbing conformity.
Spent a bit of time all over the Republic of Ireland last year… truly a gorgeous marvelous country. Super safe and extremely friendly people even though they deal with SO many of us American tourists. 😂
Loved this vlog. I'm living in southern Ireland, Co. Cork. I rarely go to Dublin as we are blessed with beautiful scenery in Cork and kerry. Loved seeing the different views of Dublin
@@zuzukydour transport system is awful. There are very poor links between cities and within cities. Even the airport and city centre aren’t linked by a train or tram. You have to spend €70 on a taxi immediately to get to the city centre.
Welcome to Dublin Kristin. In the sunshine it is a beautiful city. We love to interact/communicate here; good communication is highly valued here and we love stories when everyone has their own story. Transport needs an upgrade, to be expanded within to serve the city better. There is no place like a good traditional Irish pub, that's where the talk really happens. Enjoy!
What everone isn't saying is that Dublin is no longer Irish it's been invaded by the migration from Asia and Africa and the Middle East and in a very short period of time everthing that made Ireland what it was will be long gone just like the rest of Europe and that's just sad. America is going through the same thing we have been invaded without one shot being fired.
All due respect to the Brazilians a lovely bunch of people but Dublin is just absolutely saturated now, Dublin city centre might aswell be any city in the world & the local irish are starting to feel it now, irish culture is unique in every sense the accents, slang, characters basically the people & that can't be learned or bought, culture is precious it has to be cherished & too much multi culturalism im sorry to say is not the answer..
I have lived in Ireland 2x. I love the Irish BUT your politicians have made a hell of a horrific housing crisis. I rejected a job offer in Ireland due to this. Shame. I do love the Irish, but like all countries your government have put fuel to the fire of the housing crisis and soon people will stop coming.
@Double plus Good thinker Exactly. And this needs to happen across Europe. Our governments are now actively hostile against their own people. Leo Vardakar does not give a f*** about Irish people...every time I see him speaking and by his actions its clear.
It's not the immigrants ruining your country my guy, it's the irish teenagers, at least in Dublin. what's wrong with immigrants? they're taking jobs you guys don't want to work in, and they're also moving your economy, while not being any threat to the Irish, be it physically or in any other way. I don't see why this is such a big deal for you. Is it just plain conservatorism?
I was in dublin last year and its crawling with illegal immigrants. I am due to go back this year and am not looking forward to it. My wife and I didnt feel safe when out at night. African men gather in numbers and watch your every move when walking home. Not the Ireland I was hoping to see.
@Middagetten That was our experience. These men were leering and in groups. They are from a country with very different views to ours and a culture that view women very differently. We felt unsafe late at night walking by. Racist is just a word the left use to shut down anyone who has an opinion they don't like. GFY
I feel sorry for the youth. Totally brainwashed by climate hysteria. That girl at the end is like a wind up doll, repeating everything she’s been programmed to repeat. Quite sad. Also, very sad that Dublin has completely lost its character. Our ancient city and culture is being erased and to many that’s seen as progress. But not one person there had a traditional Dublin accent. No banter no local slang terms. These people are just part of a new global monoculture.
The first guy loves Dublin because he can be in the city in "10 mins". Lucky boomers. Try commuting 3 to 4 hrs if you are an average millenial or gen Z living in the 'burbs. And yet he says that 'transport in this country is second to none'. Seriously? Transportation in Ireland is absolutely terrible. But so long as gen X and the boomers are fine living within walking distance to the city center and don't have to go anywhere in a hurry. Dublin is a corporate city built for the wealthy, corporations and tourists. It is not a liveable city. Why do you think so many Irish still emigrate? For fun? I'm sure my comment will be unpopular to those that just want to lament about the place and it's romantic notions but it is 100% true.
He said the “transport system is second the none in Dublin” 😮there isn’t even a train to the city centre from the airport! I can’t name one other capital city like this! No underground system and getting around Dublin is a joke! Also about road infrastructure is far from ‘amongst the best in the world’ apart from motorways out of Dublin the roads where I live in west of Ireland are shocking! Still no motorway between other main towns/cities outside of Dublin such Limerick to Cork!
Boomer .....GenX actually agree with you. Why would you want to live in a shoe box and then have no money in Dublin? Life's too short. I wouldn't, l love the countryside.
Scottman I'm taking this phrase "different locals" it's perfect for describing them! Like locals but different, The couple from the North were most likely the most Irish! Dublin means (Dubh) Black (linn) pool, historically has been a melting pot of different cultures that evolved into this Fair City. But you won't find many Pure BIooded Natives walking around the affluent areas though, these are a different species in these parts, descendents of the landed gentry, crossbred west brits. These different locals want the World to think... 0:24 These Different Locals want to bring the 3rd World to come live here when we have 10,000+ homeless Natives! These DIFFERENT LOCALS thought the Celt would become as rare on the banks of the Liffey as the Redskin on the banks of the Manhattan. God loves a tryer they say? But they're up against a Different TRIBE this time! 🇮🇪IFTI🇮🇪 Éirinn go Brach!! ☘
Dublin is now just like London, Berlin or New York. Its uniqueness has been destroyed by rampant unvetted immigration. A certain amount of immigrants is good and even necessary. But not on this scale that Ireland is currently seeing.
I think a certain amount of immigration is necessary due to our declining birth rate, but it should be controlled. This phenomenon of large numbers of young males being brought in is also happening elsewhere in Western Europe. Seems to be coming from the top...
Dublin is impossible to live in unless you already own property or have a low rent. Anyone else will expect to pay extortiant rents of €30,000 pa +. The government are currently operating an open border policy to bring in as much cheap non EU labour as possible.
That's correct. Many Irish who can, face moving abroad to live. I'm never going back to Ireland because I can't afford those prices and can't watch the country where my ancestors are buried being given away.
Was in Ireland last summer for a second time. Absolutely loved Killarney, Galway and Limerick, but Dublin didn't do it at all for me. Except for Howth (if it counts as part of Dublin), to me the city felt dirty/smelly, crowded, and the atmosphere was tense.
Some suburbs are lovely with beautiful parks. Also the coast and the beautiful Dublin Mountains. Dublin has it all. Maybe too many immigrants during a housing and Health Care crisis!
Scary all these nonsense, indeed. I live in Dublin and I see lot"s of Irish everywhere and no, it is not over flooded by immigrants and yes big capitals are mostly cosmopolite. Welcome to the world, seems you were born yesterday and discovering things, that's cute ;)
@@anyssaadi1849 forgot every city and town in Ireland had to abide by the cosmopolitan standards set by the likes of London and NYC. Also you can't ignore statistics, in 2006 white irish accounted for 87.37%, whereas today it accounts for 76.5%, while all other ethnicities have steadily increased. nobody is buying the "ireland is for everyone" bs mantra anymore. we have a right to our own ancestral homeland
@@anyssaadi1849 This is objectively false. Go anywhere in the north inner city and it is almost majority non-white, let alone non-Irish. The statistics back this up, Dublin is almost as flooded with immigrants as london is, and has become so only in the past decade or so.
When I was in school there werent many immigrants. There was one Chinese family and the only black people were on the trocaire box. My kids have always had people from different backgrounds around them in school etc. They don't even think about it. It's good but the rate of change is accelerating. We're on a globalist speedrun against our wishes
If you want to meet the Irish you need to leave Dublin. Many of us avoid the place and might only go once a year. It has become increasingly foreign over the last 5-10 years and many from the countryside do not recognise what their capital has become.
"Many of us avoid the place and might only go once a year"? Given that about HALF the country's population lives in the Greater Dublin area, your claim is innumerate nonsense.
Agree 100%! I'm a Dubliner born and bred and I avoid the city centre like the plague- doesn't feel Irish any more and I feel like a foreigner- rude staff most of whom don't speak intelligible English in shops. I only go to the city when I absolutely HAVE to- it's not safe or enjoyable any more.
I know what you mean. First the eastern Europeans in the service industries changed the vibe of our capital & towns. They came to work, ok. Now, following the covid era & the resulting societal & economic damage done... the colossal numbers of undocumented young men arriving from all over the world, is very concerning for ordinary Irish people, particularly for our children's safety.
It’s good if you have your own car and drive to work about 3 a.m. Needs: 1. Rail transport to Dublin airport 2. New road Blanchardstown to Naas road via Chapelizod. 3. Underground or overground rail system. ( Stephen’s Green (luas) and the Phoenix Park (traffic barriers) destroyed by our Council and politicians) Irish people’s needs not looked after by our politicians as they concentrate on illegal no passports ‘migrants’ whom they have invited into Ireland assisted by corrupt NGOs.
@@seanpadraigobrien1260 not sure it's what 'they' want, whoever 'they' may be, it's more an inevitable result of globalisation, ease of movement and inequality between nations. People seeking a better life will do what it takes and go where it takes them. Issue is we have to make sure there is full integration, no nonsense about encouraging other religions, languages etc. this just creates silos and segregation. France had it right, a society needs to be laic and incomers need to fully integrate, not build mosques, demand rights to speak Urdu in school and elsewhere.
I hope you have a wonderful experience as you travel around. You'll meet plenty of Irish people especially while visiting my neck of the woods down South. Happy holidaying! Love from Ireland ☘
It's not safe in Dublin especially when it gets dark so be very careful. Also the rest of Ireland is not safe for a woman traveling on her own. Be as cautious here as you would back in your country who you talk to.
@@veronicadredd22 really, then where are all the women and men missing without trace ? What about reports of assaults/attacks on a near daily basis in Dublin city. What about all the unsolved crime . It's dangerous to be out after dark. Haven't you noticed how Dublin city changes after 9.00 pm !! It's unsafe to get the dart late at nite !! Wake up, dear old Dublin is gone. The government do not care and the Garda do not care. There are no Garda on the streets of Dublin. Where are they all hiding ?
I'm from Buffalo,Ny and wanted to visit long, lost relatives in County Cork," Abby Faul?" Are the Aran Islands still pure? Every city I've traveled there is a Starbucks,Mc Donald's in city centres! ❤️🩹
Frankly the elephant in the room is the unspoken fact is that Irish people are sick of how the country is overloaded with refugees & migrant workers - our schools hospitals & other services are not able to cope never mind the fact of a housing shortage with the majority of homeless being natives - foreign nationals are prioritised over natives also how employers are more likely to employ foreign nationals over natives as a tick box for diversity - this is not prejudice racism or xenophobia it’s just a fact
I’d ask you to prove the point that foreigners are prioritised over natives. I just don’t believe this and have seen nothing to substantiate a claim like that as being fact as opposed to being scaremongering. I say this as an Irish man who has lived in Dublin for the past 30 years. Also, I know not a single Irish person among my family or my wider social circle of friends, acquaintances, work colleagues etc - not a single Irish person - who would agree in any respect with the contention that “Irish people are sick of how the country is overloaded with refugees and migrant workers”. If anything, I am strongly of the view that this represents a minority view at very best and is in fact generally held by people who are more easily inclined to blame others for their problems.
@@jas1049I think it’s quite scathing to say that myself or anyone else should blame migrants or refugees for mine / their problems - that said I stand by my opinion expressed above & is not said in a derogatory fashion - it’s just an observed actual fact - the impression given is that migrants/refugees are prioritised over nationals re: housing/medical when there are so many people on housing lists years - some 13 - never mind the people in waiting lists for medical treatments - don’t come for me without being informed - there are plenty other instances I could quote with the hardcoded data to backup my point - please don’t think me prejudiced or racist - like you I’m just expressing my own observations but with proof
Yet the Irish electorate bucked the trend by basically ignoring the far right in the local elections this year. They completely bombed. So maybe you don't speak for the Irish people, you speak for yourself and your small minded circle of friends
Welcome to Dublin Kristin! I always watch your videos and have always thought that it would be great to see your views on Dublin, and the rest of Ireland. Hope you're having a wonderful time here! If you get a chance, I'd highly recommend visiting Malahide. It's a beautiful village by the seaside in North Dublin.
My sister can't even go to work without an escort of male colleagues near Parnell Street. If there was justice, there would be a reckoning for all the politicians that let this happen.
Just f ing say it! The illegal migrants have f ed things up. You’re not alone. Many countries are going through it also. My family is from Claire. Godspeed my friend. It’s gonna get worse
@@Jake-jr2zh not illegally though . All the Irish that have emigrated especially in recent times all went through a vetting process and acquired the appropriate Visa for the countries they visited and or settled in. They Irish integrated into those communities and never asked for handouts or expected to be housed. That’s just the plain simple fact of that matter . If you are happy to sit back and be ok with what’s happening to the country well maybe you need to be asking yourself some serious questions because if you own anything , you are going to need to fight to keep it .
@@revivalist355 I don’t know how your government works regarding LEGAL immigration. Here in the States we allowed 1 million LEGAL immigrants to go through the LEGAL process per year into the US. That’s more than fair. Anything more is an invasion on our country.
Re the young lady students at the end: Young students shoukd do more listening and learning and less protesting. They don't know enough to protest, even though they think they do.
3:01 He is absolutely incorrect. Ireland probably has the worst public transport in europe. Dublin doesn't even have a metro, and you can't even take a bus to where you need to go. You have to take 2 or 3. The train system was better 50 years ago than it is now, and the road quality is poor. Countries like serbia latvia poland etc. Have better transport than us.
Ireland should greatly limit the number of immigrants if they want to preserve their traditional culture, especially immigrants who will be dependent on the Irish Government. Good luck !!
Recently returned from Ireland, very surprised about the diversity in Dublin. America is letting in millions of migrants, seems like Ireland is doing the same thing.
@@waltergorney9686 Only difference is the US has a population of 200 million? Ireland only has 5 million. And much less space than the US. Ireland's infrastructure was already struggling with its native population, let alone floods of immigrants.
Lots more crime, people calling other people racists. We had our first beheadings in Sligo, Rapes are off the scale,Robbery is off The scale, the perps a lot of the time is migrants? Nice ain’t it,allow them in,give accommodation,money,food etc. Dublin City centre is a sewer of druggies,homelessness and migrants,very dangerous.
Hey, my name is Marien! I just moved to Dublin to create a church because I think this city has been hurt a lot by its past and the current situation. Would you be open to doing a Bible study?
I spent time in Dublin in the mid-1970s and then again in the beginning of the 21st century. Unfortunately, the Old Smoke went international in the 35+ years.
I’m from Scotland and have been to Dublin, mostly to watch the rugby, many times. Great people very friendly. The last time I was there, I noticed it had changed, more expensive, it kind of got quieter, for some reason, probably commercialisation. I have great memories of the people and the bars. I’ve been out drinking with everyone from coppers to nuns, the craic was brilliant 👍
Oh boy....have you seen California in the states? Skidrow is so damn big its stretching into the rich parts of the state. When the rich move anywhere it causes gentrification and causes prices to skyrocket. Government sees the rich and they money moving in so boom...they raise price. Cali is full of rich people but now they're leaving and spreading to other states causing prices to rise their as well. Hell i wouldn't be shocked if a bunch of rich calls were in Ireland. Nevada which used to be affordable (shocking i know considering its the home of vegas) is now getting insanely expensive because the rich who couldn't be bothered with the homeless in cali are moving to escape the ever growing skidrow population. They're in for a rude awakening when they start seeing homeless people stacking up in tents.
Irish culture is Being crushed by multicultural nonsense. We are sick of this nonsense we want our country back. Dont bring your culture here when in Rome and all.
Please don’t. Ugh. Irish people are very double sided. If you’re a tourist, they will always be friendly. As soon as you delve into the community, you will see a Dublin as in James Joyce’s works. Greedy, judgmental, hypocritical and jealous.
Kristin, the irish politicians put asylum seekers, foreigners ahead of their own citizens. I spent 4 yrs of university study in Belfast and came down to Dublin very often during 90s..and just last month I went to Sligo after 10 years, hundreds refugees and foreign economic migrants were in this small town everywhere.
People are not take migration seriously, the massive numbers plus the birth rate of native vs non native will turn the island into a cesspool. You can already see it happening and its not just the Republic of Ireland but in the UK and other countries.
Kristin, I enjoyed your video, it made me feel homesick. I used to sit in St. Stephan’s Green to have my lunch when I lived and worked in Dublin in the 70’s. Dublin has changed a lot, maybe it would be nice to speak to some Dubliner’s born and bred there to get a feel of the history and change which has occurred over the past 30 years. I’m hoping to visit soon, first time since the Covid pandemic in 2020. 🙏🙏

Omg! I am Brazilian and I lived in Dublin for 2 years, I lived in Clontarf. I got emotional to see the places I passed by,I was very happy in Dublin, I hope to be able to return one day.😢❤
Our last trip to Ireland we stayed in Dublin a couple extra days and I didn't feel safe with my kids. The people in the City Center were extremely cold. It's definitely changed.
I lived in Dublin for over 10 years. The streets are always filthy, bottles cans everywhere, all sort of stuff throw in the river from bicycles to stolen store baskets.... Loads of people asking for cash at bus stops from 2€ to 20€ been asked! Loads of drogadicts and drank people all over the city centre, and now days even tents with mountains of rubbish next to tents! Also so crowded that is even difficult to walk around! I try to go to the city the less possible now days!
I am here to defend Welsh !! Lol. Not sure why those English said those reg.Welsh !! Welsh people are very sweet & generous in general !! They could show a lot emotions more & temper ,but very friendly in general. Very approachable ! I visited Wales last summer for the 2nd time in my life & I had a blast !! People were super kind there !! They literally took me to destinations when I was lost !!They treated me drinks ( I don't drink alcohol really,so tea / coffee ) at pubs !! 💜🎵🐉🎤🎶💞
Hey Kristin - enjoy your time in Ireland. My family is from outside Dublin, and I attended Trinity in Dublin...made documentaries and music videos in ireland and lived on a horse farm in maynooth,outside dublin, in my early 20s that produced 2 of the most famous racehorses all time...have fun roaming....no recommendations, as it's all good there. Cheers!
I used to love a trip around moore street as a child, all the women were so very irish ! "Get your sparklers here" !!! I loved their accents, they kept up a constant conversation with each other. Such a unique part of Dublins history
As a proud Dubliner my county has changed dramatically in the last ten to fifteen years. These changes sadly are not for the better and is being caused by illegal immigration. I don’t blame the immigrants, but I do blame our politicians who have deliberately brought about this change.
There's immigration and there's immigration, if you know what I mean, and the Irish government seems to show zero interest in making any kind of distinction. The vast majority of deportation orders are actually unenforced. Politicians make claims of having 'no upper limit' to the growing "asylum" claimant influx and this either illustrates that they are mathematically challenged, ideologically blinded, or even both.
Not a Dub but the any time I've been there the problem has been overwhelmingly feral youths wandering around in huge groups causing problems for everyone they meet along with heroin addicts, all Dublin locals. The inner city appears lawless at times, can just commonly see people fighting or screaming at each other in the street in the middle of the day, never see Gardai around. I wouldn't dare even go out in the city at night.
American citizen who completely understands what it´s like. We had an election subverted just like in Venezuela. Biden wasn´t duly elected and now, we´re being overrun.
As a visitor booking in the shoulder season I found the price of accommodation off-putting. It was only because my cousin invited me to stay that I'm going to Ireland. $300-400 a night for a B&B ? I'd rather go somewhere relatively cheap, like Rome or Paris.
Dublin is such a fabulous city! The pubs are excellent, with notable places like The Brazen Head (oldest pub in Dublin), Temple Bar is more touristy, and I enjoyed The Oliver St John Gogarty. Music excellent. Of course the Guiness Factory, which is good to see but a bit over-priced. Kilmainham Gaol worth checking out, as seen in films like In the Name of the Father. Trinity College with The Book of Kells (amazing library there). Good to hear what the locals think about what is happening in their city. Enjoy it! Pass at Newgrange is an interesting site just a short drive north from Dublin. For you in Belfast, take a black cab tour there with an explanation of the history and The Troubles. The Titanic Museum worth checking out.
I've been twice to Dublin, first to see Bruce Springsteen 2016, loved it and had to come back to see a bit more, I liked The Merchants Arch pub, near the Half Penny Bridge, best Steak Guinness pie I've ever had! 🏴
As the Dublin-born son of immigrants, Dublin is soooooo much worse then when I was a young lad. I used to live in Ireland and everyone, no matter their skin colour or ethnic origins etc. was Irish together. Nowadays, sad how I can’t say the same
@@henrikchristensen7844 There's been too much change in too little time without sufficient efforts in managing it properly, unlike the well-managed ways of before, and this has led to issues unfortunately 😭
@@henrikchristensen7844 Well many more than in my time for sure, too many for the way that the government is handling it, but you can't blame the immigrants, it's not their fault that the government let them in. However, certain elements have incredibly contradictory values to those of our country and this causes issues to arise due to a lack of effort from both them and the authorities to make them fit in correctly, which didn't use to be the case until very recently. I don't want there to be ghettos or such in Dublin the same way I've seen in many many other countries, we've never had that before but we need to make sure we don't now either, it's not too late to fix things, but it will be soon

I live in the States and one of my dearest friend was from Dublin. I could listen to her talk for hours! Unfortunately, she passed a few years ago. I miss her lovely Irish accent ❤
Aw sorry for your loss!
Hi ann I miss the USA 🇺🇸
I like the Irish accent. I love that soft velvety accent which is soothing and relaxing.
It's not an accent it's a speech impediment
It s the most beautiful accent in English language, maybe because of hint of gailege? It's so soft and comforting, really so so nice
Welcome to Ireland Kristin. The one thing I'd say about Dublin is that it doesn't give the full picture of what Ireland is like. I highly recommend you visit rural Ireland, especially some of the smaller towns in the South and West.
Thank you; I wish I had more time to explore your beautiful country!

@@Zepster77 Exactly - I enjoyed this video but it was striking when this woman said she had found it hard to find local Irish people in the capital city of Ireland. I dread to think where Ireland is heading - as these men aren't going anyway. Irish politicians may well end up delivering in a couple of decades what the British failed to do in 800 years. What is so bad about Ireland - you know actually being Irish. It everywhere ends up being the same its uniformity not diversity!
Kristin I have to say for someone who has been in Ireland for such a short time your knowledge on our history impressed me. You are a natual interviewer with people.
I love Dublin but far too many men in their 20's hanging around, that are seeking international asylum. They are undocumented, and fighting amongst themselves. There are many homeless Irish people also, that should get first dibs.
Agree with you 💯% take care of your own first! I've visited Dublin twice 2016/2017 very expensive with the euro! I'm disgusted by what's happening to Ireland and the UK, all Govts allowing in Illegal immigrants, majority being young fit men, putting them up in hotels, given food, money all free, while our own born and bred are juggling with heating or eating!
They might put them into the cops or army it looks like
why do you have to bring politics into fucking everything? why should irish get first dibs ?? why should ANYONE get free ANYTHING?
@@paulcolin9071 why should we tolerate them ?
Why does government let this happen? It’s not benefit for the local and own country.

Don't care about their own culture!!! Sad!!! Once it's gone, hundreds and thousands of years, you can't get it back!!! The middle class English don't like their own culture and people either!!!
Dublin was ruined by drugs long ago.
She was never Irish in her heart. Lots of Dubliners are like that. West Brits.

@@Kitiwake Hear her accent,pathetic.
@@PlanetRonnie sad but true. Cheers anyway.
The couple in Clontarf saying they love the diversity while living in one of the most exclusive and less diverse areas in Dublin is quite typical of some of the uppity champagne socialist types in Dublin, try ask people who's areas are being flooded with immigrants from Albania , Georgia or Somalia, us Irish always embrace immigrants that come here for the right reasons like working hard and making a contribution unlike the tens of thousands of men who arrive here with the promise of free stuff and have no intention of working , also crime is on the increase and the media and Garda are trying to cover it up or at least not reporting on the ethnicity of the criminals .
Immigrants who integrate these lot never do ever.

They were rather posh. Well, she was, anyway.
Have to disagree with the first man. The transport system is probably one of the worst in Europe.
He's obviously retired and has a good connection to his favourite bench by the river!! Retirement is not for everybody and when it removes you from the harsh realities of everyday life for ordinary working people, it's never a good thing!!
Italy is horrific from my experience. But yeah our public transport ain't the best at all
Yeah I was surprised he said that. The train system between significant cities is poor.
Indeed. Certainly not the best. The tram and bus system exists, but as a tourist it was confusing and I ended up doing long walks instead of using the day tickets I bought. The regional train service seemed okay (went to Dun Laoghaire), apart from the preference for announcements spoken in gaelic, which most Irish people don't speak.

Sorry to hear that.
Sorry, what was the reason?
I just returned March 2023. I'll get hammered for this, but there is something the people who are clamoring for diversity don't realize concerning Ireland. The one thing that gets repeated is how friendly the Irish are. Tourism is one of, if not the biggest portions of the Irish economy. It employs nearly a quarter million people. One reason as it has been mentioned repeatedly in this video for the continued success of that tourism trade is the Irish people themselves. The more the government allows the 'barbarians at the gates" to enter, the faster the decline of Irish culture will occur because a priority is being place on "diversity" and NOT preservation of the Irish people or their way of life. One big sector of the Irish tourism trade is the "pub culture". What makes the pub culture unique is, and I'll say it again, the Irish people themselves and NOT foreigners behind the bar or waiting tables, no matter how friendly they might be. Thanks to government only doing the bidding of the EU and the NWO, Dublin will continue to go the way of London, Berlin, Paris, and Stockholm.
Sadly true. I’m Dublin born and bred but my parents are legal, law-abiding immigrants (my dad naturalised as Irish well over a decade ago now). Back when I was younger, all of us, no matter ethnicity, religion, etc. used to be Irish together, play GAA, football/soccer, cricket, tennis etc. all the same and there were very few issues. My mam is French and now I’m terrified (I’m not even white) to walk down the road in plain daylight in certain parts of *Paris City proper* due to the horrible way immigration has been managed. I’ve lived in England for 10 years and the same applies to South London, half of Birmingham, etc. Dublin isn’t what it used to be, and it’s getting farther and farther from it
National sovereignty is being thrown away by treacherous governments.
pure racism.
Couldn’t agree more the same is happening right now in Scotland. Traditions are ebbing away
Race was never mentioned by anyone until you mentioned it. Immigration is not a race. So who here is racist? @@dibble2005
One thing I'd add is that Dublin is a very low lying city with few high buildings. Even when you're in the city centre, you can still see the sky everywhere you go, which is nice.
That is nice! It was mostly blue skies when I was there. In NYC it’s all shadows now from the high buildings
@@TravelingwithKristin Yes, I don't think I'd be keen on a heavily built up city with skyscrapers! Give me Dublin any day 😊
Screw the skyline. I keep my eyes front in case I don't get mugged. We need sky scrapers to fix the housing Crisis and stop people relying on cars to travel so far
The consequence of those low buildings is massive sprawl and very high prices though.
Me and my wife took our honeymoon to Ireland (both of us Irish have heritage) ... Spent time in Dublin and down south in Cork, Blarney and Kinsale .. absolutely amazing time and the ppl there were insanely nice and welcoming... I've been all over the Europe and Ireland is one place I'd love to live

Nothing wrong with Loving your Country. Screw Corrupts Governments around the World. Get Rid of them, you outnumber them.
Ireland run by globalists now and the results are predictable. They're putting limits on the number of cows in the country
As a Native Irish person Ireland has changed for the worse in my opinion, I'm sorry if you can't understand our worries, but on a recent Irish TV programme Virgin Media poll 90% of Irish Native asked if they support mass migration voted no before the media quickly took it down, we are not allowed to complain about the overpopulation 20% non Irish in just over 20 years, if we talk about it we're called racist, and bigots just because of wanting to preserve our Native Irishness and our history, lots of Native Irish would talk to you off camera because they would be afraid to loose their jobs for being racist
@Kevin McMuhammad, my sentiments exactly. It's all by design from the Global elites.
If people could get over the initial fear of social backlash and started voicing their concerns by the masses there would be virtually nothing these manipulative fr33ks could do to stop the tide and this crisis could start being reversed tomorrow. It's only when so very few are willing to speak out are they able to easily pick us off from the herd and continue on with their nation wrecking business as usual. And in case it's lost on some people, there is no one coming to save us. The future generations depend on us getting off our a$$ and actually doing something about it... do you really want to be remembered as a coward who was too afraid to speak up for your/your children's right to exist!? Please do your part by speaking out and urge your family & friends to as well!
As a « native Irish » you’re talking nonsense and probably living in an echo chamber. There is a lack of housing in Ireland and that has been the case for 20 years. Weird how my circles blame the government with there more than 1 billion euros unspent housing budget last year but your circles blame foreigners. And there is several black GAA players who are more Irish and I bet more patriotic than you so idk what you’re on about preserving Irishness. Just say it.
@@donfatale you mean people who are not as white as snow actually exist in Dublin? Been the case since at least the 1800s. Sorry if thé tourism board sold You a false image. Anyway don’t lose any sleep since Ireland is well over 90% white people and we breed like rabbits.
@@ant318 lad the whole immigration thing is shocking. We’re expected to just accept everyone that comes in and give them houses and there’s still our people on the streets living instead of being looked after like all the migrants coming in. Sure Dublin has become shocking the amount of male migrants coming up to girls and touching them and forcing themselves onto girls cause it’s acceptable to them but not here and it has happened multiple times to my girlfriend and I’ve seen it in person. We’re being failed by not protecting our own people and culture

Did you want to say it?
Oh yes, because everyone thinks like you and the only reason everyone who doesn't say the same doesn't, is because they're afraid to say it. The saddest thing is, is I could say this to someone on the other side as well. Or maybe most people just get on with it, and don't identify with one set of pricks on the one extreme, or the other set of pricks on the other extreme? And as a white Londoner who moved out, please stop speaking for me. Thanks.

Allegedly Micheal Martin used to spank Angela while wearing his altar boy outfit and it worked fine, however Scholz apppears to be less enthusiastic about the same treatment from Leo. Probably because the surplice doesn't fit and he can't pronounce the safe word (allegedly "éasafagas").

Well done, Kristin, for a great selection of interviews. I was raised in Dublin for the first nine years of my life, then my family moved to London which is fifty years ago now. We never let go the strings that bound us to Ireland, but the trips home have not been as often as they once were. Believe it or not, when we left Ireland the population of Dublin was just something like 250,000, so that's a six fold increase over time, and yet, the city hasn't lost its intimacy and its friendliness. I'll look for your Belfast video now!
“It’s changed” in every western country, this is due to politicians living in their own privileged enclaves making various self righteousness ideological decisions that doesn’t not impact themselves, but the people pay the price. Just look at Sweden for example.
In other words, Europe votes left and leftist politicians are destroying countries all over the world. Like anywhere, you get what you vote for.
Peter from Dublin rockin' the Chicago Cubs knit cap, i love it!
The transportation system in Ireland second to none? It's horrendous. It really only exists in Dublin and it's built for a population half that of Dublin.
I balked at that too. Nice man but clueless about anything outside the M50 😂
LOL. WHAT transportation system?? 😆🥴🥴🤣🤣 Did he meant BUSES every 25 min? Or Planes? One of the worst transportation system in EU. If not worst.

I´d agree. Compared to Spain where you literally can get to any coastal point from Madrid on high-speed rail and America which is literally THE WORLD'S WORST, Ireland is closer to the US than Spain.
Go back even just ten years and you'd have mostly met Irish people.
Dublin has not always been an "international city," this is very new and frankly unasked for. Our government is importing hundreds of thousands of people a year into a country with a population smaller than Boston. Irish people are having to leave because they can't afford housing.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's interesting to hear about the changes over the years🌍🍀
International and diverse just means everywhere is now the same, it ruins the distinct nature of places. So many places now have a mind numbing conformity.

Welcome to Dublin Kristin. In the sunshine it is a beautiful city. We love to interact/communicate here; good communication is highly valued here and we love stories when everyone has their own story. Transport needs an upgrade, to be expanded within to serve the city better. There is no place like a good traditional Irish pub, that's where the talk really happens. Enjoy!

What everone isn't saying is that Dublin is no longer Irish it's been invaded by the migration from Asia and Africa and the Middle East and in a very short period of time everthing that made Ireland what it was will be long gone just like the rest of Europe and that's just sad. America is going through the same thing we have been invaded without one shot being fired.

It's not the immigrants ruining your country my guy, it's the irish teenagers, at least in Dublin. what's wrong with immigrants? they're taking jobs you guys don't want to work in, and they're also moving your economy, while not being any threat to the Irish, be it physically or in any other way. I don't see why this is such a big deal for you. Is it just plain conservatorism?

@JustinT he's 100% correct
The first guy loves Dublin because he can be in the city in "10 mins". Lucky boomers. Try commuting 3 to 4 hrs if you are an average millenial or gen Z living in the 'burbs. And yet he says that 'transport in this country is second to none'. Seriously? Transportation in Ireland is absolutely terrible. But so long as gen X and the boomers are fine living within walking distance to the city center and don't have to go anywhere in a hurry. Dublin is a corporate city built for the wealthy, corporations and tourists. It is not a liveable city. Why do you think so many Irish still emigrate? For fun? I'm sure my comment will be unpopular to those that just want to lament about the place and it's romantic notions but it is 100% true.
Couldn’t agree with you more. Unless you have a car transport is pretty shit, even in Dublin.
He said the “transport system is second the none in Dublin” 😮there isn’t even a train to the city centre from the airport! I can’t name one other capital city like this! No underground system and getting around Dublin is a joke! Also about road infrastructure is far from ‘amongst the best in the world’ apart from motorways out of Dublin the roads where I live in west of Ireland are shocking! Still no motorway between other main towns/cities outside of Dublin such Limerick to Cork!
Boomer .....GenX actually agree with you. Why would you want to live in a shoe box and then have no money in Dublin? Life's too short. I wouldn't, l love the countryside.

Scottman I'm taking this phrase "different locals" it's perfect for describing them! Like locals but different, The couple from the North were most likely the most Irish! Dublin means (Dubh) Black (linn) pool, historically has been a melting pot of different cultures that evolved into this Fair City. But you won't find many Pure BIooded Natives walking around the affluent areas though, these are a different species in these parts, descendents of the landed gentry, crossbred west brits. These different locals want the World to think... 0:24 These Different Locals want to bring the 3rd World to come live here when we have 10,000+ homeless Natives! These DIFFERENT LOCALS thought the Celt would become as rare on the banks of the Liffey as the Redskin on the banks of the Manhattan. God loves a tryer they say? But they're up against a Different TRIBE this time! 🇮🇪IFTI🇮🇪 Éirinn go Brach!! ☘
Dublin is now just like London, Berlin or New York. Its uniqueness has been destroyed by rampant unvetted immigration. A certain amount of immigrants is good and even necessary. But not on this scale that Ireland is currently seeing.
its not necessary though, that is also a lie
I think a certain amount of immigration is necessary due to our declining birth rate, but it should be controlled. This phenomenon of large numbers of young males being brought in is also happening elsewhere in Western Europe. Seems to be coming from the top...

@@australianpatriot so you’re not even Irish yet you’re leaving all these ridiculous comments? 😂
Dublin is impossible to live in unless you already own property or have a low rent. Anyone else will expect to pay extortiant rents of €30,000 pa +.
The government are currently operating an open border policy to bring in as much cheap non EU labour as possible.
That's correct.
Many Irish who can, face moving abroad to live.
I'm never going back to Ireland because I can't afford those prices and can't watch the country where my ancestors are buried being given away.
Crime against their people and humanity.
It’s the EU doing it.
It's not about cheap labour. It's about population replacement. Most of them are on welfare.
Was in Ireland last summer for a second time. Absolutely loved Killarney, Galway and Limerick, but Dublin didn't do it at all for me. Except for Howth (if it counts as part of Dublin), to me the city felt dirty/smelly, crowded, and the atmosphere was tense.
Diversity + close proximity = conflict

Some suburbs are lovely with beautiful parks. Also the coast and the beautiful Dublin Mountains. Dublin has it all. Maybe too many immigrants during a housing and Health Care crisis!
Too many immigrants
Too many immigrants are ruining lreland it's heartbreaking
And how right you were. Last Thursday was one of the blackest days in Ireland in decades and had been threatening to boil over
We were in Lanzarote recently and we said we meet more Irish in Lanzarote than in Dublin. A little scary!
Scary all these nonsense, indeed. I live in Dublin and I see lot"s of Irish everywhere and no, it is not over flooded by immigrants and yes big capitals are mostly cosmopolite. Welcome to the world, seems you were born yesterday and discovering things, that's cute ;)
@@anyssaadi1849That poncey attitude will do you no favours.
@@anyssaadi1849 forgot every city and town in Ireland had to abide by the cosmopolitan standards set by the likes of London and NYC. Also you can't ignore statistics, in 2006 white irish accounted for 87.37%, whereas today it accounts for 76.5%, while all other ethnicities have steadily increased. nobody is buying the "ireland is for everyone" bs mantra anymore. we have a right to our own ancestral homeland
@@anyssaadi1849 This is objectively false. Go anywhere in the north inner city and it is almost majority non-white, let alone non-Irish.
The statistics back this up, Dublin is almost as flooded with immigrants as london is, and has become so only in the past decade or so.
I miss Dublin so much and I’m looking forward to come back and settle again

That’s not true at all. You hate Irish got saying that.
When I was in school there werent many immigrants. There was one Chinese family and the only black people were on the trocaire box. My kids have always had people from different backgrounds around them in school etc. They don't even think about it. It's good but the rate of change is accelerating. We're on a globalist speedrun against our wishes
If you want to meet the Irish you need to leave Dublin. Many of us avoid the place and might only go once a year. It has become increasingly foreign over the last 5-10 years and many from the countryside do not recognise what their capital has become.
"Many of us avoid the place and might only go once a year"?
Given that about HALF the country's population lives in the Greater Dublin area, your claim is innumerate nonsense.
Agree 100%! I'm a Dubliner born and bred and I avoid the city centre like the plague- doesn't feel Irish any more and I feel like a foreigner- rude staff most of whom don't speak intelligible English in shops. I only go to the city when I absolutely HAVE to- it's not safe or enjoyable any more.
Immigrants didn't ruin dublin, the government did
😂😂😂😂😂😂 are you even Irish kiwi boy ?????
I know what you mean. First the eastern Europeans in the service industries changed the vibe of our capital & towns. They came to work, ok. Now, following the covid era & the resulting societal & economic damage done... the colossal numbers of undocumented young men arriving from all over the world, is very concerning for ordinary Irish people, particularly for our children's safety.
The transport system is second to none really 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, the guy has no clue what he's on about ...
It’s good if you have your own car and drive to work about 3 a.m.
Needs:
1. Rail transport to Dublin airport
2. New road Blanchardstown to Naas road via Chapelizod.
3. Underground or overground rail system.
( Stephen’s Green (luas) and the Phoenix Park (traffic barriers) destroyed by our Council and politicians)
Irish people’s needs not looked after by our politicians as they concentrate on illegal no passports ‘migrants’ whom they have invited into Ireland assisted by corrupt NGOs.

Issue is we have to make sure there is full integration, no nonsense about encouraging other religions, languages etc. this just creates silos and segregation.

We need to keep Ireland, irish for the most part. Crime has begun to sky rocket with migrants from all different cultures.

Frankly the elephant in the room is the unspoken fact is that Irish people are sick of how the country is overloaded with refugees & migrant workers - our schools hospitals & other services are not able to cope never mind the fact of a housing shortage with the majority of homeless being natives - foreign nationals are prioritised over natives also how employers are more likely to employ foreign nationals over natives as a tick box for diversity - this is not prejudice racism or xenophobia it’s just a fact
Inaccurate information and just right wing nationalism hog wash👎🏾
I’d ask you to prove the point that foreigners are prioritised over natives. I just don’t believe this and have seen nothing to substantiate a claim like that as being fact as opposed to being scaremongering. I say this as an Irish man who has lived in Dublin for the past 30 years. Also, I know not a single Irish person among my family or my wider social circle of friends, acquaintances, work colleagues etc - not a single Irish person - who would agree in any respect with the contention that “Irish people are sick of how the country is overloaded with refugees and migrant workers”. If anything, I am strongly of the view that this represents a minority view at very best and is in fact generally held by people who are more easily inclined to blame others for their problems.
@@jas1049I think it’s quite scathing to say that myself or anyone else should blame migrants or refugees for mine / their problems - that said I stand by my opinion expressed above & is not said in a derogatory fashion - it’s just an observed actual fact - the impression given is that migrants/refugees are prioritised over nationals re: housing/medical when there are so many people on housing lists years - some 13 - never mind the people in waiting lists for medical treatments - don’t come for me without being informed - there are plenty other instances I could quote with the hardcoded data to backup my point - please don’t think me prejudiced or racist - like you I’m just expressing my own observations but with proof
Yet the Irish electorate bucked the trend by basically ignoring the far right in the local elections this year. They completely bombed. So maybe you don't speak for the Irish people, you speak for yourself and your small minded circle of friends
The migrant workers are keeping the hospitals going
Welcome to Dublin Kristin! I always watch your videos and have always thought that it would be great to see your views on Dublin, and the rest of Ireland. Hope you're having a wonderful time here!

Thank you so much, Damien!

Remember the Irish have immigrated worldwide.
@@Jake-jr2zh not illegally though . All the Irish that have emigrated especially in recent times all went through a vetting process and acquired the appropriate Visa for the countries they visited and or settled in. They Irish integrated into those communities and never asked for handouts or expected to be housed. That’s just the plain simple fact of that matter . If you are happy to sit back and be ok with what’s happening to the country well maybe you need to be asking yourself some serious questions because if you own anything , you are going to need to fight to keep it .
@@revivalist355 no it’s full and won’t be welcomed , the people have had enough

3:01 He is absolutely incorrect. Ireland probably has the worst public transport in europe. Dublin doesn't even have a metro, and you can't even take a bus to where you need to go. You have to take 2 or 3. The train system was better 50 years ago than it is now, and the road quality is poor. Countries like serbia latvia poland etc. Have better transport than us.
I agree, one of the worst transport I have seen in Europe. Going to any UK city feels years ahead in terms of mobility
Walking along Clontarf , absolutely beautiful 💚
Ireland should greatly limit the number of immigrants if they want to preserve their traditional culture, especially immigrants who will be dependent on the Irish Government. Good luck !!
Recently returned from Ireland, very surprised about the diversity in Dublin. America is letting in millions of migrants, seems like Ireland is doing the same thing.
@@waltergorney9686 Only difference is the US has a population of 200 million? Ireland only has 5 million. And much less space than the US. Ireland's infrastructure was already struggling with its native population, let alone floods of immigrants.
Lots more crime, people calling other people racists. We had our first beheadings in Sligo, Rapes are off the scale,Robbery is off The scale, the perps a lot of the time is migrants? Nice ain’t it,allow them in,give accommodation,money,food etc. Dublin City centre is a sewer of druggies,homelessness and migrants,very dangerous.

I spent time in Dublin in the mid-1970s and then again in the beginning of the 21st century. Unfortunately, the Old Smoke went international in the 35+ years.
International, multicultural, diverse. Call it what you will, but it's no longer an Irish city. Women are no longer safe alone at night.

I’m from Scotland and have been to Dublin, mostly to watch the rugby, many times. Great people very friendly. The last time I was there, I noticed it had changed, more expensive, it kind of got quieter, for some reason, probably commercialisation. I have great memories of the people and the bars. I’ve been out drinking with everyone from coppers to nuns, the craic was brilliant 👍
Thanks for sharing @McConnachy!
Scotland is worth moving
When outside buyers come in and buy properties it pushes prices so high many locals can no longer afford it.
I talk about that more in this new video from yesterday: th-cam.com/video/NG73drZ12kQ/w-d-xo.html
Oh boy....have you seen California in the states? Skidrow is so damn big its stretching into the rich parts of the state. When the rich move anywhere it causes gentrification and causes prices to skyrocket. Government sees the rich and they money moving in so boom...they raise price. Cali is full of rich people but now they're leaving and spreading to other states causing prices to rise their as well. Hell i wouldn't be shocked if a bunch of rich calls were in Ireland. Nevada which used to be affordable (shocking i know considering its the home of vegas) is now getting insanely expensive because the rich who couldn't be bothered with the homeless in cali are moving to escape the ever growing skidrow population. They're in for a rude awakening when they start seeing homeless people stacking up in tents.
Great video prep for my Ireland trip next month. 12 days on Scotland tour, then 8 day Train tour in Ireland. Getting excited!! Thanks Kristin.
I left Dublin and moved to Wexford never to return .... It's a hell hole . Best way to describe Dublin now is Gotham city without a batman
The only bad thing about Wexford is that knackers from Dublin have ruined it for the locals.
I've been to Dublin only once, but I LOVED it and it is all about the people!!! Ok, there's lots of culture and beauty, but the people are so great!!
Irish culture is Being crushed by multicultural nonsense. We are sick of this nonsense we want our country back. Dont bring your culture here when in Rome and all.
Please don’t. Ugh. Irish people are very double sided. If you’re a tourist, they will always be friendly. As soon as you delve into the community, you will see a Dublin as in James Joyce’s works. Greedy, judgmental, hypocritical and jealous.
Tourist perception
Kristin, the irish politicians put asylum seekers, foreigners ahead of their own citizens.
I spent 4 yrs of university study in Belfast and came down to Dublin very often during 90s..and just last month I went to Sligo after 10 years, hundreds refugees and foreign economic migrants were in this small town everywhere.
People are not take migration seriously, the massive numbers plus the birth rate of native vs non native will turn the island into a cesspool. You can already see it happening and its not just the Republic of Ireland but in the UK and other countries.
Kristin, I enjoyed your video, it made me feel homesick. I used to sit in St. Stephan’s Green to have my lunch when I lived and worked in Dublin in the 70’s.
Dublin has changed a lot, maybe it would be nice to speak to some Dubliner’s born and bred there to get a feel of the history and change which has occurred over the past 30 years.

I lived in Dublin for over 10 years. The streets are always filthy, bottles cans everywhere, all sort of stuff throw in the river from bicycles to stolen store baskets.... Loads of people asking for cash at bus stops from 2€ to 20€ been asked! Loads of drogadicts and drank people all over the city centre, and now days even tents with mountains of rubbish next to tents! Also so crowded that is even difficult to walk around! I try to go to the city the less possible now days!

As a proud Dubliner my county has changed dramatically in the last ten to fifteen years. These changes sadly are not for the better and is being caused by illegal immigration. I don’t blame the immigrants, but I do blame our politicians who have deliberately brought about this change.
There's immigration and there's immigration, if you know what I mean, and the Irish government seems to show zero interest in making any kind of distinction. The vast majority of deportation orders are actually unenforced. Politicians make claims of having 'no upper limit' to the growing "asylum" claimant influx and this either illustrates that they are mathematically challenged, ideologically blinded, or even both.
Ireland is very beautiful ! The problem of immigration is worst in France ! Thank you Mrs Von der Leyen!
Not a Dub but the any time I've been there the problem has been overwhelmingly feral youths wandering around in huge groups causing problems for everyone they meet along with heroin addicts, all Dublin locals. The inner city appears lawless at times, can just commonly see people fighting or screaming at each other in the street in the middle of the day, never see Gardai around. I wouldn't dare even go out in the city at night.

Dublin is such a fabulous city! The pubs are excellent, with notable places like The Brazen Head (oldest pub in Dublin), Temple Bar is more touristy, and I enjoyed The Oliver St John Gogarty. Music excellent. Of course the Guiness Factory, which is good to see but a bit over-priced. Kilmainham Gaol worth checking out, as seen in films like In the Name of the Father. Trinity College with The Book of Kells (amazing library there). Good to hear what the locals think about what is happening in their city. Enjoy it! Pass at Newgrange is an interesting site just a short drive north from Dublin. For you in Belfast, take a black cab tour there with an explanation of the history and The Troubles. The Titanic Museum worth checking out.
