 As tourist season and Paddy’s day approach, I feel a need for public service announcement.  As with any city, there are pick-pockets around Dublin.  Living next door to a pub in Temple Bar, we periodically see women’s wallets thrown into our entryway.  The thieves throw the wallets out of a bathroom window which conveniently shares the entryway to our building.  Most of the wallets that we have found have been from foreigners.   I don’t know what the actual stats are for pick-pocketing but if you can keep your stuff  (and yourself) safe, you’ll have more fun here in Dublin.
So, ladies (and gents), watch your belongings while out having a great time here in Dublin.
