I am informed by the Garda authorities that the information sought is not readily available and would require disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources to compile. I can assure that Deputy that An Garda Síochána take very seriously any reports of incidents of assault or anti-social behaviour which occur on public transport. An Garda Síochána are in regular contact with transport providers to address any issues which arise.
