IARNROD Eireann is to have a full investigation into reports that a couple high on drugs had sex on a DART earlier this week.

Spokesman Barry Kenny said the incident was the first of its type reported to the transport company, and that CCTV footage would be examined with a view to taking a prosecution.

"It wasn't reported to us directly and as far as we can gather it's the first time it's happened on the DART," he said yesterday.

"We have to establish if CCTV was on the DART, but it was clearly an isolated incident. We will look at CCTV footage and see if they can be identified with a view to taking a prosecution."

The couple could be prosecuted under the Criminal Law (Sexual) Act, which has a charge of indecency.

They could also be charged under the Public Order Act with threatening, insulting or abusive behaviour.

Not the first time, certainly others have tired this

What odds on the train not have CCTV but the PA saying it does?

There is actually a website where you can view plenty of reproductive activites in Dublin captured on CCTV, including on IE property (yep, the DART). I'll send Barry a cheque for the subscription.

So if I ever want to "do it on the DART", I'd better make sure I pick a coach without CCTV.

Odds are fairly good at the moment, but if the LHB units ever come back from their travels, we'll really have to watch out.

Given the current incompetence in Irish Rail with IT I'd give extremely long odds on IE recovering the CCTV footage unless staff intervention took place at the time of the incident

Copies of the CCTV tape will be on sale from Heuston Station and Pearse Station..

Thats my fear the lads are still looking for the video recorder on the train, it hasn't got one its a digital computer hard drive system

Under the Data Protection Act you can request your mug shot taken on any CCTV system once you can indentify the camera date time etc we should try that
