Mr. Adrian Kane:

The lack of a deterrent is a major problem. We need to sort that and ensure how people behave on public transport is indicative of how people are treated in this society, regardless of colour, gender, race or otherwise. That is what is driving this campaign.

We are at a junction in this society where the State is not seen to be effective in addressing the problems. We want to see an effective State response. We want to sort out the detail of what policing would look like, move on it and resolve it. This problem could be resolved by showing racism and antisocial behaviour the red card, such that it will be said that we turned this around, with the State behind it. This would provide a safer workplace for the people we represent.
