Ref # SAN 002 - 06
Status Closed
Occurrence SAN 002 - Track access by the public at Navan Road Parkway on the 31st January 2025
Occurrence Date 31 January 2025
Date Closed 17/06/2026

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.
