Garda public transport unit urgently needed, says unionNational Bus & Rail Union cites recent attack on man (26) on late-night bus For what? The Guards will probably get beat up from the scumbags too and won't be able to touch them because they're 'Young'.

Where are they going to get some to show up on public transport?
