      >O’Brien says it will not be another An Garda Síochána, but it will be modelled on the airport police.

      “What we’ve got to land on is the exact model. It will be centrally controlled to the NTA.

      Asking the obvious question but: why can’t it be a branch of the Gardaí? Why would the NTA be a preferable entity to be the overseer of a grouping with powers of arrest? Not being funny, just genuinely curious what the thinking would be here.

      I’m 100% for more proper policing on our public transport, but would have a reflexive concern about oversight. Presumably then the Garda Ombudsman would have no powers here.

      Give them the power to take people’s phones that are playing videos and music off of their speakers and chuck them out the window.

      Pointless though isn’t it. A chap with previous convictions punch an 11 year old kid and is now most likely using public transport

      I’d say there is an absolute scramble among the usual “Civil Liberties” gobshites to be first on Matt Cooper this afternoon to compare this new transport police to ICE in America.

      Jesus christ an actual sensible fucking decision. I had always assumed they would be jsut glorified ticket checkers with zero powers. Maybe we are all, collectively, finally understanding that in general, we are jsut too fucking wise over here to what we can and can’t get away with. There are teenagers all over the country committing as much crime as possible before they hit 18,and being sought out by gangs because they can get away with anythjng scot free, maybe excepting murder and rape

      Powers of arrest?

      Brilliant!

      Maybe they could arrest that absolute con-man Darragh O’Brien and have him charged with de-frauding Irish taxpayers by pretending to do his job(s)* for the last thirty years.
