As the Minister for Transport, 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 issue of the possible establishment of a text alert line for customers to discretely report anti-social behaviour on commuter and intercity trains is first and foremost an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann, and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. 

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
