The Luas is free?
Terrible idea
More handouts for bastards who pay no tax
jokes on them: there’s no decent public transport where i live
Nice one, now all we need is public transport
Gangs of 9 years olds roaming the Luas? No thanks!
I’m being discriminated against on the grounds I don’t believe in Santa.

Cue the parents or the kids arguing with the driver over age just to get a free trip
Can I have ‘any more ways to buy votes’ for 200 please
Government trying to buy the votes of low information voters smh 🙄
Fantastic!!!
Oh wait, we don’t actually have any public transport so this is useless
Great news.
That’s nice. We’ve a load of spare capacity in public transport so might as well make it free for people
Fantastic move by the government
Could they not have just rounded it up to 10 year olds?
Tbh more of this
Make it cheaper to just be in Ireland
Next up should be massively subsidised child care
These are all anti inflation moves which is what we need right now
Someone please make a list of all the freebies each party is promising
What Public transport?
I don’t think this is a good idea. I regularly see kids on the bus acting the maggot upstairs. If it only applies to early mornings going to and from school then it’s not a bad idea on paper.
