I am sorry for interrupting, but my only fear on that is we will end up with a patchy service where one superintendent thinks it is a great idea and he is doing it while another superintendent does not. It is important to agree a national policy, although it is clear that it is more of an issue in urban areas on the Luas and Dublin Bus and on intercity rail lines. We have all heard about Westport and Sligo at different times where flashpoints develop at various times during the summer and in connection with stag and hen weekends. I most respectfully ask the NTA to ask Commissioner Harris if this is something that could be considered and fed down from the top rather than depending on local management being favourably disposed, which can happen in one area but not in another.
