The doctor, of course, brings an Italian perspective, which is interesting. I have travelled around Europe and seen people providing security on trains. They are robustly clothed in stab-proof vests. They have a real authority and the trains feels safer as a result. Does Ms Cahill have an opinion on these matters? Should alcohol be served on trains? Is the day of the bag of cans being brought onto the Heuston Station platform and drunk on the train to Limerick or Cork over? It can be fun but it can also be very messy. It invariably leads to trouble as the journey moves passed its halfway point and the alcohol intake increases.
