James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I assure the Deputy in respect of proposed legislation that we are advancing all legislation as quickly as possible. The Department of Justice, the Minister, Deputy McEntee, and I have moved a significant volume of legislation through the Houses already. I am advised by An Garda Síochána that the focus of Operation Twintrack is pro-engagement with a high level of visibility at train stations and on rail networks. I am further advised that An Garda Síochána in collaboration with Irish Rail and Transdev Ireland have planned four national community engagement and rail safety partnership days of operation beginning on 8 December 2021. Due to an increase in Covid-19 cases, this event has been postponed, unfortunately. As this phase of the operation has not taken place, it is not possible to provide any measurable outcomes to the Deputy in respect of the operation.. I can tell the Deputy that every step is being taken, whether through antisocial behaviour measures, youth justice, legislation or increased resources. For example, funding has been provided for an additional 100 mountain bikes in the most recent budget, as well as an additional 800 members of the Garda Síochána. We are approaching this from every possible angle to address the antisocial behaviour that has been happening in Dublin.
