In a letter written to the three Coalition leaders this week, the union has called for a national taskforce on antisocial behaviour on public transport to be established. “This incident, involving an air gun attack on a Bus Éireann driver, is unfortunately not an isolated case of antisocial behaviour on our public transport system,” said Mr O’Leary.In the letter, the NBRU repeated its call for a dedicated Garda public transport division to tackle the “growing problem” of antisocial behaviour.
