It is a bit of a sweeping generalisation. I'm from the south side of Dublin, and there are plenty of sketchy parts of town there too.
There are multiple south>northside jokes, e.g. What do you call a northsider in a suit? The defendant!
Or what do you a call a northsider in a BMW? A thief!
You get the drift. Like every city, there are geographical and class divides and myths and (mis)perceptions.
