Mr. John Twomey:

We run a number of operations over the course of the year with the various public transport operators, be they Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann, DART or Luas. We have targeted operations where at different times of the year there will be members of the Garda Síochána on public transport, working very closely with their own security people to support them. We have had a number of very successful operations where an issue arises and we target it and they have been quite successful. Similarly, we will work with the management of each of these groups and we will assist them with what crime prevention measures they have at their stations to help with that. The specific incident that the Deputy mentions in Bayside is being investigated and it is hoped that the people involved will be brought before the courts in due course. We deal with it in a number of ways. We deal with the individual incidents as they arise. We investigate each and every one of those and we work with the operators at a more strategic level in terms of planned operations over the course of the year and help them with crime prevention at various different stations and how we can assist with that. CCTV is one area that we focus on specifically.
