Ref # SAN 002 - 06
Status Open / In progress
Occurrence SAN 002 - Track access by the public at Navan Road Parkway on the 31st January 2025
Occurrence Date 31 January 2025

Basis for Recommendation

It is noted that the Customer Experience (CX) Manger DART, IÉ-RU and the CCE Regional Manager DART, are currently carrying out risk assessment at stations with high history of trespass occurrences to identify and prioritise locations where anti-trespass mats should be installed. However, while the reported occurrences of trespass at Navan Road Parkway is low, approximately thirty-three children accessed the railway line without IÉ detecting the incident.

Recommendation

IÉ-IM, in conjunction with IÉ-RU should expand its risk assessment process in terms of prioritising the locations where anti-trespass mats should be fitted, to also consider whether anti-trespass mats should be installed at stations that are in close proximity to schools.
