Drug abuse, drink-fuelled anti-social behaviour and crime are the worst things about living in Dublin, a city council survey of more than 2,000 people has found.
The survey, conducted over a three-month period among people living, working or studying in Dublin, showed a positive attitude towards major infrastructural projects such as the Luas, port tunnel and Dublinbikes rental scheme.
Yet dissatisfaction with public transport was ranked as the third worst thing about living in Dublin, after issues relating to crime and public order and litter.
An “opinion panel” of 2,300 people representing the greater Dublin population – 86 per cent of whom were Irish and 67 per cent from Dublin – were asked for their views on all aspects of Dublin life.
