A man travelling to Sligo by train said he was verbally abused by a woman pretending to sell tickets for charity on board.

Last week, on board the 6:30pm train from Mullingar to his native Sligo, Mike said he witnessed a woman selling raffle lines for charity., Mike said he quickly realised the charity was not legitimate, as the woman claimed she was raising funds for Suicide Prevention Ireland – a charity which does not exist."Some, believe it or not, bought some – I'd say out of the fear or naivety and gave the woman money," he said.

"It was aggression, intimidation, in-your-face kind of thing ... a basic lack of manners and respect. Thuggery on the train."Irish Rail spokesperson Barry Kenny said collections of any kind for charity are not permitted onboard the train. Mr Kenny said there are a series of"rapid response hubs" around the country which connect Irish Rail with the Gardaí.
