I have sympathy for the person trying to navigate a food trolley though a dangerously overcrowded Irish Rail train @IrishRail

The 5.20 train from Galway is so overcrowded you can't access the bathroom. Where is the Minister for Transport on this national scandal? @DarraghOBrienTD

Review: This restaurant is full on a Monday night, which is all you need to know Well, maybe not all? The fact that many restaurants don't open on Monday night might be something else worth knowing? #realconorstevens

'Bus and rail fares to be reviewed annually, NTA chief tells Minister' Hopefully this review will be linked to a similar review of the quality of our public transport @TFIupdates @DarraghOBrienTD

If Kildare County Council have a moment they might choose to address the seasonal following at the bus stops at Roseville (picture) and the Sallins Rd. (DeBurghs). This would make life a ljust ittle easier for commuters using these stops. @KildareCoCo

Delay of children’s hospital would ‘impose considerable additional costs’, Minister for Heathwarns The whole history of the children's hospital has been 'considerable extra costs' #nationalchildrenshospital

The driver of the 126 from Ha'penny Bridge just told the queue that the bus was full and he couldn't take more passengers. I think this makes sense. At other times people are allowed to stand. Is there a policy? @TFIupdates @DarraghOBrienTD

Dangerous overcrowding on our commuter buses - C4 Maynooth bus on Wednesday @ 4.30pm - up to 10 people standing from the Ha'penny Bridge to Lucan. Simply not good enough @TFIupdates @DarraghOBrienTD

'Bus and train fare hikes to be announced by transport authorities. Rising cost of public spending for state services a concern' One concern should why we're spending more on overcrowded, uncomfortable, unreliable public transport with no improvement @DarraghOBrienTD
