As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  However, I am not involved in the day to day operations of public transport

The safety and security of passengers and staff, including arrangements to deal with anti-social behaviour on the Luas is a matter for the transport operator (Transdev) in conjunction with, as appropriate, the Gardaí.  Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), the agency with responsibility for the Luas, and I have asked them to raise your concerns with Transdev and respond to you directly.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
