There are no smoking signs the platforms, well said. But i spoke to the manager on dury and her words were "if i ask them to stopand they don't all i can do is call the Garda", she even stated that " the security staff there can't even remove people for smoking"......what can they do then ?

If thats the case they should just give up and take early retirement now.

Irish Rail are perfectly entitled to eject anyone who is breaking the law.

Up to €3000 fine. There's fairly clear guidelines on it, not surprised IE can't implement a 5-year-old law
