More than half of Dubliners say they're visiting the city centre less, or not at all, amid safety concerns.
A new poll also found that more than 80% of people would be unwilling to visit Dublin city.
Of the one thousand people surveyed, 55% of people said they'd visit Dublin city centre more if there was more of a Garda presence and 60% agreed it would take a long time to feel safe again in the capital city.
In total, 56% of Dubliners and 40% of people nationally say they've either cut back on visits to the city or have stopped coming into the city completely, due to concerns over safety and crime.
82% of those who've become to reluctant to visit, say they've have stopped shopping in the city and 62% say they've stopped eating out.
However, the poll by Amárach Research for the Irish Daily Mail, found half of Dubliners are still proud to call Dublin Ireland's capital, despite everything.
