We did it because it was necessary and people's welfare and lives were at risk. We were determined to tackle the problem. The Deputy should not claim I have not directly intervened when I have. I have also urged the companies in question to do what is necessary. They have been responding.
I have asked my Department to engage with all the transport companies, as well as the Railway Safety Advisory Council. I could give the Deputy a long list of measures which have been taken. I have already given her some. I am determined this scourge will be stamped out and I will do anything I can to ensure that it is.
