Free public transport for Gardai and Defence Forces members when they are on and off duty would help to stamp out anti-social behaviour, it has been claimed.

“In itself, this will not stamp out antisocial behaviour. However, an increase in the number of members of An Garda Síochána and the Defence Forces on public transport would inhibit anti-social behaviour. Former Lord Mayor of Dublin and Independent councillor Christy Burke who is chair of the Transport Strategic Transport Policy Committee said he supports Senator Davitt’s proposal. “It would make sense to have security personnel on board to allow drivers and the public to travel in a secure environment."
