But it lacked one essential requirement in the modern age. Diversity. No longer. A couple of years back a number of Africans took over a house there and immediately began demonstrating what the staid burghers had been missing. Mind you there were some downsides. Like the cops being called on a regular basis (twice in the same day on one occasion) while ear-splitting 'music' blasted away into the small hours of the morning. Still, as we'd all agree, a small price to pay for the joys of multiculturalism.
Unfortunately, as sometimes happens, the vibrant newcomers overstep the mark. Residents in the Foxrock estate where a young man was killed in incredibly violent circumstances were stunned by the gruesome death. Locals who spoke to the Irish Independent yesterday expressed utter shock at the horror that had taken place in their neighbourhood. The killer had cut off the victim's genitals and placed them carefully on the mantelpiece before sitting back and relaxing while he bled to death. As one does.

"I literally feel sick. This doesn't happen in Foxrock," one woman said.

It does now lady, it does now. Welcome to the new, vibrant and multicultural Ireland.
