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 provision of additional security personnel onboard trains/trams and at stations is an operational matter for both Iarnród Éireann and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), the agency with responsibility for Transdev Ireland, the operator of the LUAS. I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the Iarnród Éireann and TII for direct reply.

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