I most respectfully suggest that Ms Graham might ask whether it is possible for normal beat cops, as part of their shift, as opposed to the dedicated traffic corps or homicide police, to extend their focus to transport. I refer to the visible police we see, whether they are community police or police walking the beat. Is it possible to factor in as part of their normal working day that they would take a certain bus journey twice during a shift and expand that out to intercity trains? A garda might go on one train trip during his or her shift.
