In general, that walk from Docklands would scare the crap out of me on a dark evening. Proper planning and less indulgence to developers would have the station located at the end of Mayor street. I did the meetings/presentations with Treasury Holdings nearly 4 years ago. P11 was formed too late to save this mess.

Its probably one of the safest areas in Dublin at the moment! but that's only as long as the garda high presence continues, there has been in the recent past lots of problems in nearby apartment with vandals and messing around with cars etc.
Also within a hundred yards of the station as you walk towards town the presence of two pairs of runners swong around a telegraph pole indicates a vibrant trade in the narcotic goods sector. Hopefully things can improve but in the short term I say IE will have a couple of security staff stationed there during opening hours.
