There was no bomb alarm

When the international students were welcomed at MIC, they were told: "Limerick is not as dangerous as people say. It is just gang members that are murdered." How very comforting. They would also say: "Just act as in every other town. Don't use your mobile while you walk in the city and keep an eye on your belongings." Right, that is exactly how I behaved in Fribourg - I would never call anybody when walking home from university, full of fear that someone could snap my mobile.
When my flatmate suggested me to go to Northern Ireland to see the Giant's Causeway, I hesitated. "Isn't it dangerous?" She stared at me. "You are in Limerick! There is nothing more dangerous than that in Ireland."
I see. She might be right, you know. There was a car burning in front of our college two weeks ago. No-one did anything! So - was that just normal? Then my friends told me that there had been some shots around their campus. Well, I prefer the habitual fire alarm at seven thirty...
Now I understand at least why all these student villages boast with their good security services!

You might watch the new film about the Celtic myth of Cú Roí - and you'll see that the whole crime business is in fact inherited.
