Question 215: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the Garda will operate an occasional bus patrol in Dublin similar to the one it operates on LUAS to protect passengers, particularly at night, and to increase the sense of security for users of public services.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that Garda management within the Dublin Metropolitan Region has an excellent working relationship with the management of Dublin Bus. Regular contact is maintained and any issues raised are dealt with promptly.

I am further informed that, while there are no dedicated patrols on Dublin Bus, An Garda Síochána carries out patrols to deal with specific incidents and complaints as they arise, primarily in the late evenings when incidents of anti social behaviour are most likely to occur.
