    Dublin has a much higher rate of murders than London a city 10 times it’s size. relatively speaking it’s higher than Belfast’s too.. gun crime/murder rates have increased in dublin 10 fold in the last 20 years. how many lives were lost in the crumlin/drimnagh feud alone. every week somebody gets shot in here.
