:hey, ed: "" 
 :this is exactly it. maybe you or i have had bad experiences in garryowen. maybe you or i have had bad experiences in osdorp, amsterdam or victoria station, london. this is subjective. you or i are just one person. we have to base the information in wikipedia on verifiable sources. therefore, the correct course of action would be to get the best, most accurate, most recent crime stats you can for limerick, dublin, cork, galway, and present them in a neutral perspective in their articles. 
 :i guess the reason limerick has a crime section is because crime has been a notable thing in the media with regards to limerick in the past. this cannot be denied. please, irishpatriots, do yourself a favour and read these: WP:V WP:RS WP:NPOV WP:N 
 :if you can understand these four things, i have a feeling you will make an excellent editor )
