I thank Mr. Murphy for that perspective. Under the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 2003, if someone is before the court for causing bedlam in a certain shop or giving hassle outside Penneys, Dunnes Stores or wherever, the judge can order that person not to go back to the shop in question for a 12-month period or longer. I am sure many employees have had to sit in the dock of a court on occasion to give evidence about something that has happened. Have they, while representing Dublin Bus or Luas in court, ever stated they wanted a guy excluded from their services? Has that ever happened, or do they just have to face the persons down each time and accept him as a passenger?
