National Rail And Bus Union Wants More Steps Taken To Address Anti Social Behaviour On Trains

Irish Rail says it's working closely with the Gardaí to tackle the problem

The National Rail and Bus Union wants more steps to be taken to address anti social behaviour on trains.

It's looking for a dedicated transport police service after more than a thousand recorded disturbances on trains since the start of last year.

Irish Rail says it's working closely with the Gardaí to tackle the problem.

But NBRU General Secretary Dermot O'Leary says passengers and staff are regularly at risk of assaults on public transport.
