Luas gets a red card from soccer fan

HAVING attended the wonderful occasion that was the Ireland v Slovakia match at Croke Park last Wednesday, I must protest at the shambolic Luas operation on the night.

Running every six minutes, according to the electronic display, there were literally hundreds of people lining up at the Red Cow stop to buy tickets at a temporary kiosk before joining the queue of hundreds more to get on a tram.

This is where it got dangerous. People were squashed up against windows and doors, and against each other. If there had been an accident I’m sure it would have been disastrous.
