Shout out to Dublin, that closed all its Victorian public inner-city toilets b/c it couldn't be bothered to police them (much as it doesn't police ASB anywhere), shifting responsibility to local businesses, most of which are now "Toilets are for customers only" as a result..

In Belfast we had neither public toilets nor public bins for many years. Too easy to drop bombs into. No double decker buses either at the defusal robot couldn't climb stairs.
Well, yes. Many airports (and train stations) don't have them for the same reason.

But I don't believe it's concerns over UDF/IRA that pushed them to close the WCs, it's the same reason they hardly fix inner-city potholes.
