Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 October 2019
569. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of incidents of vandalism on the Luas that have resulted in disruptions to services in 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42212/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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.
