RIP. Waterford is getting so violent as of late. It’s shocking.

Such a sad and tragic event Condolences to this very young mans Parents,Family and Friends. May he Rest in Peace

waterford is very quickly becoming a hotbed of degeneracy. i live there and have suffered 2 violent assaults in the past 7 years, once by a group 16 people (according to the gardai). wife is moving back to belfast soon as will i when i finish college.

Waterford is no more dangerous than any other city in Ireland & safer than most. It’s a fantastic place to live & work & personally I’ve never experienced any trouble.

Not enough Gardai actually walking the streets.
You should always feel that a Garda could be walking round the corner.
In New York they are everywhere and it works. People feel safer because they can actually see the police.
People who may have a propensity to violence don’t feel that they may actually bump into a Garda.
Persons who face a conviction probably know that there is actually no jail place to put them. Hence some offender has 95 previous convictions.Ludicrous but until people show their outrage at these recent violent events in Waterford things are going to get worse. I’ve been living here all my life and I know that the city I grew up in is infinitely more threatening and dangerous.Not good enough. We’re only a poplulation of 50 odd thousand,should be more peaceful and law abiding. How many Waterfordians actually walk about the city late at night and feel safe doing so? Show yyour outrage and demand a better standard of policing,keep an eye out for each other and as a late lamented friend of mine once said, BE LUCKY
