Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 January 2017
243. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to ongoing vandalism and anti-social behaviour that could jeopardise the provision of services to green line Luas stations beyond Sandyford; and the actions his Department is undertaking to deal with them under the Railways Acts. [2186/17]
View answerThis issue was raised with me earlier this week and I understand there have been some recent incidents in relation to 'stone throwing'. Transdev, the Luas operator, is working with local community groups in relation to the issue.
Anti-social behaviour is first and foremost a matter for Transdev as the Luas operator in conjunction with, as appropriate, the Garda.
The Deputy is aware that Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has statutory responsibilities in relation to the oversight of contractual matters relating to Luas and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
