> This found 7pc of Dublin women have been sexually harassed on public transport; 55pc of females nationwide would not use it after dark; and 34pc have sometimes avoided going out altogether because of safety fears.
What a sad statistic, but I definitely would be part of that percentage
I struggle to see why the NTA insist that current security arrangements are adequate. The Guards insistence makes sense as they’re already underfunded and overstretched as it is so makes sense as to why they don’t want additional responsibilities without any more funding (which is what would happen) but why the NTA are pushing this line is odd.
Are there drivers on the Luas? Do they not stop when something happens?
