In fairness this isn't so much an Irish Rail issue as an issue we fail to deal with in society in general. The way to cope with this is to have the guards arrive in force at a station with half a dozen transit vans and lift the lot of them.

Having their mammies having to drive from Waterford to Kilkenny to pick them up from the cells would soften their coughs a bit.

As a nation we tolerate public drunkenness and the resultant bad behaviour too much. I fail to see what Irish Rail are supposed to do if the public in general tolerates this kind of behaviour. To be able to deal with it by force would require putting more security people on the train than scumbags and that will drive up costs to the point where nobody could afford to travel.
