About Dublin
Safety Guide in Co. Dublin
Dublin is a mixed picture for safety: some neighbourhoods have very low crime while others see higher rates of property crime and anti-social behaviour. CSO crime statistics under the DMR Garda division show that crime varies significantly by area within the county. PropertyPack provides address-level crime data for any Eircode in Dublin, broken down by offence type, so you can make a safety assessment specific to your street, not just the county average.
