Public Transport
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-19
============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

Everyone in the House wants to encourage more people onto public transport. That is a commitment of the Minister and of the Government. Unfortunately, many people are deterred from going onto public transport, particularly at night time, because they do not feel safe. Have there been any discussions between the Minister’s Department and the transport providers on improving safety? I heard what the Minister said to Deputy O’Rourke about the NTA's antisocial behaviour specialist group but what is the Department doing in respect of it?
