Chairperson of the newly established Luas Green Line Community Forum Shaun Tracey has condemned the attack:

“I strongly condemn this attack on the driver who was going about his job and providing a service to this community.

While attacks like this are extremely rare there are some issues of anti-social behaviour on the Green Line.“The Luas

Green Line Community Forum was recently established in conjunction with the Luas to attempt to tackle issues of anti-social behaviour on and around the Luas line.

Today’s attack is an attack on our community and I condemn it in the strongest possible manner.”
