Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 October 2019
533. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of reported incidents of antisocial behaviour on Luas services in 2017, 2018 and to date in 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39825/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the 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 public transport passengers and staff, including arrangements to deal with anti-social behaviour, are important matters that, first and foremost, must be managed by every public transport company, in conjunction with An Garda Síochána, where appropriate.
I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), which has contracted Transdev to operate the Luas, for their direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
