Alcohol Banned On Galway To Dublin Train Service
Alcohol is to be banned on the Iarnród Éireann Galway to Dublin Heuston route from Sunday, amid complaints of anti-social behaviour.
A statement from the train company said that there had been "persistent complaints" about regular instances of anti-social behaviour connected to excessive alcohol consumption on the service.
It is now understood, that from Sunday, the service will no longer sell alcohol, while travellers bringing their own on board will have it confiscated.
The company said it was a decision they had "taken reluctantly", but added that they "must act when our customers are regularly having their journeys disturbed by a minority."
