More than 700 incidents of vandalism and anti-social behaviour on Luas so far in 2021

High visibility policing on Luas trams would make passengers feel safer and could act as a deterrent to those who might engage in anti-social behaviour and criminal activity.

The number of reported anti-social behaviour and vandalism incidents on the Luas is set to top last year's total, with 721 reported up to mid-October.

Figures released by Transdev, the operator of the Luas, to Fine Gael TD Alan Farrell, show the number of incidents up to October 10 to be almost the same as the annual total in 2020.
