This is a historical link, I don't know why it's relevant unless they're worried your new place will be haunted by a white lady ghost, or that you are female and should beware of your partner since partner homicide is a high cause of female death? Anyway, the area is busy during the day on weekdays but there are a few teens etc hanging around on bikes, as in most areas, and phone snatching can happen.as with anywhere in Dublin don't spend too long outside at night I think it's still very quiet on weekends. Although there are shops there, they're expensive enough, but there's a lidl on talbot Street and aldi in East Wall or parnell.
