Former Clare NBRU Member Slams Transport Minister's Stance On Dedicated Police Service

Clare FM

A former Clare member of the National Bus and Rail Union has issued a scathing criticism of the Transport Minister for his stance on a police force for the sector. SIPTU has recommended such a service as part of its 'Travel Safe' plan, in order to quell what it's described as a growing number of on-board anti-social behaviour incidents across the country. In response, Green Party Minister Eamon Ryan has stated he doesn't think a separate police force is the best option and believes improved community policing is the solution. Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor and former NBRU member Tony O'Brien says Minister Ryan is miles off the mark.
