Northside Dublin safety is becoming one of the most talked-about issues in Ireland today. Immigration, public safety, and Garda presence dominate every conversation. In this documentary, people on the Southside talk openly about how safe or unsafe they feel during the day or at night. Many don't seem to compare the Southside to the Northside of Dublin, where immigration, homelessness, and crime are constantly in the spotlight. On the Southside, by contrast, there are no tent cities, no homeless people on the streets, and a very different atmosphere.

Tourists explain how they clutch their handbags walking through Dublin, especially on the Northside. Women discuss whether they feel safe travelling on buses, taxi, walking home, or being out in the city centre. Immigration comes up again and again — shaping how safe people feel, where they go, and how much trust they have in Garda protection. The Southside is viewed by some as safer, but questions remain about whether it’s really different, or whether crime and insecurity are simply hidden.

This street-level documentary captures the raw views of Dubliners — including a detailed discussion with a left-wing resident about how immigration, Garda resources, and community trust affect daily safety in the city.
