TWEET: Irish Rail passenger hails young man for his respect towards elderly couple

Great to see in this day and age.

An Irish Rail passenger’s praise for a young man on their train seems to be richly deserved.

Twitter user @_Tweecher_ felt the young man was a “credit” to his generation after witnessing him spend his entire train journey respectfully chatting to an elderly couple sitting across from him.

The young man cheerfully made conversation all the way from Dublin to the couple’s reported stop in Thurles and @_Tweecher_ felt it was rare to see such respect these days.

After seeing the tweet Irish Rail retweeted it from their own account hoping that the young man might see the “lovely message.”

@_Tweecher_ Hey Tweecher, that's a lovely message, hopefully he follows us and sees it.

We too hope the classy young man gets the results in his Leaving Cert that he is looking for.

@IrishRail such a lovely young guy. So chatty to people he didn't know and so honest too. Thought it deserved a mention. 😊
