Gardaí patrol local trains passing through Kildare

Gardaí from the Kildare Division were on patrol on local commuter trains at the weekend. 

The purpose of the patrols is to detect and prevent anti-social behaviour and to support Irish Rail staff.

The operations are carried out by Gardai from Kildare, Laois/Offaly and the Dublin Region.

Gardaí said the patrols have resulted in a decrease in reports of anti-social behaviour on trains and at rail stations.
