Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank Deputy Higgins for raising this important issue. I know that there are many people who are unfortunately afraid to use public transport at night because of the security issues the Deputy has rightly raised. We now have a new control centre at Heuston Station, which allows An Garda Síochána to monitor what is happening on public transport and in our stations. Obviously, any decision on the establishment of a dedicated transport police service would involve weighing up the pros and cons but I will certainly let the Minister, Deputy McEntee, know that the Deputy raised this matter here today.
