Checking the power sockets

[longword]

I pulled this out of a mains socket this morning:

I came across it before at least a week ago, maybe two, same service & location. I thought at that time it was a device put there by staff to take the socket out of use for whatever reason. At first glance, in the darkness under the table, it looked all-plastic and safe enough so I just left it alone that time and used the other socket of the pair.

It was at seat 41 on 22207; coach G on this morning's 07:22 service Drogheda to Connolly. The socket was switched off (not tripped) but even so it wouldn't be good news if some small and curious fingers had found it first.

Thats clearly not good

Clear a failure to properly inspect the train before release to service
