Luas worker loses his job

DellyBelly

Not sure if this is already covered but I have to say I feel sorry for this guy -

https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/luas-ticket-inspector-called-paki-bd-sacked-after-wild-swipe-at-youth-862598.html

Due to the feral kids we have in the country a guy who probably snapped after loads of abuse loses his job. Nothing I presume happens the teenager...he shouldn't have done what he did but I must say I feel sorry for him...

If the staff / security guards had permission to smack the heads off scumbags on the Luas, there probably wouldn't be as many issues.

Dublin needs a fully funded transport police service.

Genuinely laughed at this! You actually think this would solve the problem without actually creating any other problem whatsoever?!

No, but it'd be good craic for a while at least.

With suitable authority
Certain bleeding hearts might come out of the woodwork to decry such suggestion.

Ah, fair point, I had not considered that the poster was considering the aspect of entertainment!

Brain Gremlin: Now, bear in mind, none of us has been in New York before. There are the Broadway shows - we'll have to find out how to get tickets. There's also a lot of street crime, but I believe we can watch that for free.

why bother paying for a ticket when you can just throw racist abuse at the inspector and he is expected to walk away.:rolleyes:

Grayson

the guy shouldn't have swiped at the scumbag but I can see why he did.

This.

On the story in general , there's no point working in an enforcement role on public transport if you don't have the demeanour to take countless unjustified , wrong and unfair attacks on your nationality, weight, eye colour, sexuality or whatever else the entitled fare dodgers choose to attack you about to distract from the fact they don't have a ticket.

Sad that somebody loses their job over a bunch of racist fare dodgers but a temper or aggression just doesn't fly in any enforcement role.

Yeah right till the moment of the first death by stabbing, which I would guess would be inside of a week of the 'smacking policy' starting

They need to make the Luas anything but free transport for junkies and scumbags. The thoughts of buying a ticket wouldn't dare enter their head. Conveniently passes the Four Courts for hearings, James' Hospital for methadone clinic and the Liffey boardwalk for scoring gear.

What wrong with this country..

He goes to work get abused and a little knacker and loses his Job,

And we have a women at 28 spitting out 7 Kids, that never worked a day and has a criminal record . Getting a apartment cause she took a staged photo.
Jesus H Christ.

So young thugs have learned a important lesson from this . Act like an eejit , don't buy a ticket , call the security names , and only the security guy gets in trouble . What a stupid country we live in that allows this behaviour to win

The Police can do feck all. There are not enough of them, they're underfunded and the Judiciary make a joke of their efforts.

While violence never solves anything the circumstances in which the incident occurred are in my opinion being ignored here. Or st the very least there seems to be a desire to make them into less than they were.

He shouldn’t have lashed out but can anyone really blame him?

And of course the dragged up little toe rag who verbally and racially abused him won’t get more than a slap on the wrist.

We are all in our jobs to work, not to be abused and his employers might do well to remember that.

ballyargus

Hope he at least hit the little f**k a decent whack

MadDog76

At the end of the day he's not suitable for the role and definitely deserved being sacked.

I wouldn't be able to put up with that kind of abuse without lashing out physically therfore I also wouldn't be suitable for that job hence why I would never apply for a job like that......

I think you're playing a bit fast and loose with the term 'raise' there!

SimonTemplar

I agree that Ireland needs a transport police, that feral kids are a massive problem on the luas, and that the guy probably doesn't deserve to loose his job over an incident where I can't really blame him for lashing out BUT it definitely wasn't unfair dismissal.

mad muffin

Again… Irish law (or lack there of) gives carte blanche, to these scumbags to do as they please, with little to no consequences :mad:

Bring back lashings.

I think what happened when the last time people were empowered to carry out lashings on children in this country would deter us from ever trying again.

So what is the solution for feral racist abusers ?

TheValeyard

Should not have lost his job. Very much an over reaction.

RasTa

No doubt the youth complained to transdev, got a payout hence this person getting sacked.

It's so easy sometimes.

Its all managing risk and insurance. Said worker does this, gets a disciplinary and goes back to work.

A year down the road little Johnny gets on a luas with no ticket and calls him (insert racist language). Little Johnny gets struck and ends up with two broken teeth and brain damage.

Mr Transdev has to explain how a person who previously attacked a passenger was left in the role. Negligent before it's even investigated.

He shouldn't be working in security with an inability to deal with being provoked. Like another poster said I wouldn't be able to so i wouldn't work in that field.

Outlaw Pete

Course he should have lost his job. He swung a punch at a member of the public.

Doesn't matter what a scumbag says, you can't sanction violence as a justifiable response to verbal abuse.

They are allowed to use reasonable force to remove someone and that's how it should remain.
