Establish a public transport security force

What this means

• The 2025 Programme for Government commits to setting up a dedicated security force specifically for public transport in Ireland.[source]
• This new force would operate under the National Transport Authority, the body that oversees public transport services nationwide.[source]
• The goal is to improve safety for passengers and staff using public transport across the country.[source]
• Minister Darragh O'Brien is the officeholder linked to this commitment, which was first stated on 23 January 2025.[source]
• The commitment is currently at the promised stage only, with no confirmed delivery date set, making it important to track whether it moves forward.[source]
