Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We are fully committed to continuing to work with all stakeholders to ensure the safest possible environment for passengers and all employees providing vital public transport services. I welcome that in recent weeks the Garda transport hub has been announced and will be in operation in the National Train Control Centre at Heuston Station this Friday, 5 May 2023. This will allow An Garda Síochána to have oversight of all public transport networks, including trains, buses and trams. It will strengthen the links between An Garda Síochána and public transport operators and allow An Garda Síochána to respond more quickly to any issues that may arise. I have also been informed that it is expected a similar centre will be opened in Connolly Station. Having a strong collaboration between public transport operators and An Garda Síochána and strengthening the presence of An Garda Síochána will support all our combined efforts in trying to ensure we have safer public transport.
