In our Monday debate, we looked at the standard of rail travel in Ireland.

An increase in antisocial behaviour on trains has been reported over the last 18 months.

What can be done about this and other issues impacting passengers, such as schedules and availability of trains, capacity and ticket prices?

How do we make train travel safer, cheaper and more efficient?

Mark Gleeson of Irish Rail Users, Barry Kenny, corporate communications manager of Irish Rail, People Before Profit TD Brid Smith and Siobhan Osgood, a PhD student at Trinity College researching Irish railway architecture, joined us to discuss this.
