Mr. Tommy Wynne:

Yes. I have a couple of things to say. I would like to add to something the Leas-Chathaoirleach said a few minutes ago. We are not saying there is trouble on every train, bus and Luas tram. There is not and we all know it. There are thousands of services each day around the country and no trouble whatsoever on 99% of them, which is great. As Senator Boyhan said earlier, we all want everyone to use public transport more. We are here because this is what we want. The services are brilliant, increasing all the time and there is no trouble on 99% of them. As Ms Armstrong and Mr. Doyle said, when there is trouble, there really is just no way to stop it.

Only two weeks ago I got a phone call from a fella late on a Saturday night. He was cleaning a station at the end of the night, emptying the bins and something stuck into his leg. He had to go to the accident and emergency department because it was a needle someone had been using that day. This man has had months of worry about this, and his family have as well. This is the sort of thing that happens. Drug-taking is out there all the time now. As I said, though, 99% of the time, everything is brilliant and great. When these few other experiences happen, though, we do need the support and I suppose this is the whole point.
