Dublin Trip

Dublin

I went on a self financed trip to Dublin and Belfast to see how they deal with crime, the trip took four days and it was no surprise to me to find that there are the same problems there as over here, the influx of migrant workers into Dublin as increased the city's numbers by 20% in four years, and with it problems, in the courts offenders for minor offences are asked to pay moneys to a charity or come back to court at a later date and be more heavily fined, the defendant stand on a carpet in front of the Magistrate in front of about 100 other defendants, no means testing here, you pay or else. Smoking, one women in Dublin who refused to put out her cigarette on the top of a bus was sent to jail for 7 days.
The IT in Belfast is second to none, and the court house magnificent.
