Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Anti-Social Behaviour on Public Transport: Discussion
Mr. Tommy Wynne:
I did not criticise; I just said it is better. They are great as well, but the train is better. The Deputy is right it is on a very small minority of services. I would say 99% of the services are brilliant and there is no trouble whatsoever. There is a text service there, but as the Deputy said it is more used for something wrong on the train or no toilet facility or whatever. I would absolutely be in favour of that. We talk to Irish Rail. In fairness to it, it speaks to us regularly about the antisocial behaviour and we have meetings with it about safety and the behaviour. It tries to implement new initiatives, but we need more help and more policing as such. That is the point we are trying to make here.
