I’ve been here for a month now and nothing has happened, not experienced any harassment or anything like but there’s always a risk so yeah you can never be too sure but nothing has happened to me yet.

Swords is a fairly small town and I've never felt too unsafe there. Sometimes there are groups of teenagers that can yell or be intimidating but they are usually fine. After dark, it's still reasonably safe feeling.
