Sheriff Street

Sheriff Street

Sheriff Street (irish place name|Sráid an tSirriam), known by locals as "Sheriffer," is a small area in the north inner city of Dublin, Ireland, lying between East Wall and North Wall and often considered to be part of the latter.

The Sheriff Street area might be defined as Upper and Lower Sheriff Street, Mayor Street, Guild Street, Commons Street, Oriel Street and Seville Place. Sheriff Street was once a notorious run-down area with a high crime rate. There were ongoing issues with poverty and crime, peaking during the heroin "epidemic" of the 80s and 90s. In the late 1990s, the Sheriff Street flats (St.Laurances Mansions, St.Bridgets Gardens, and Phil Shanahan House) were demolished and the area quietened down.
