A pair of bus routes in west Dublin were diverted last night due to anti social behaviour.
The two Dublin Bus routes that were curtailed were the 27 and 13. The 27 was diverted away from Jobstown in Tallaght while the 13 did not serve the Bawnogue area of Clondalkin for the remainder of the night.
It's just the latest in a series of incidents that have impacted on both Dublin Bus drivers and passengers. As previously reported by Dublin Live, drivers have been assaulted 429 times over the last five years.

The anti-social incidents range from objects thrown at bus, assault on drivers, assaults on other passengers, robbery, graffiti, drug use and vandalism. All of the assaults and anti-social incidents were reported by Dublin Bus drivers since the beginning of 2017.
A recent survey found almost 80% of people support a dedicated transport police unit being established. The research found that 93% of people have witnessed anti-social behaviour while using public transport.
