A man in his 50s has been arrested after a public order incident on a Dublin Bus.

Gardai were called to the scene at Kevin Street Upper just after 11 o'clock last night.

He was taken to Kevin Street Garda Station after the incident on the 27 Bus, and was later released with a file being prepared for the DPP.

Dublin Bus says all employees are fully trained on the comprehensive procedures for dealing with incidents of antisocial behaviour, and typically the level of incidents is relatively low.

A Garda spokesperson says: "Gardaí are investigating a public order incident that occurred on a bus on the 3rd April 2022 at 11.15pm in the Kevin Street Upper area, Dublin 8.

"A man in his 50s was arrested and conveyed to Kevin Street Garda Station and was later released, pending a file to the DPP."

Assistance

A Dublin Bus spokesperson says: "I can confirm that an incident took place onboard Route 27 yesterday. An Garda Síochána were contacted and attended the scene.

"All Dublin Bus employees are fully trained on the comprehensive procedures for dealing with incidents of antisocial behaviour. Each vehicle is equipped with a radio which allows immediate contact to our Central Control Centre. This means that the driver has immediate contact to a team of Dublin Bus Inspectors should assistance be required in any given situation.
"Dublin Bus operates a fleet of 1,000 buses. While the operation on such a large scale is challenging, the level of anti-social behaviour is relatively low. This is due to a series of initiatives which have taken place; designed to improve safety for both customers and employees.
"We have a strong and close working relationship with An Garda Síochána. The entire Dublin Bus fleet is fully fitted with CCTV cameras with up to 9 internal, 4 external cameras and 2 reversing cameras fitted on the more modern vehicles in the fleet."
