Ramps don't breakdown, do not require maintenance and do not attract anti social behavior
interesting they have the CCTV operating approving access. Wonder if Luas operate such a system?

It's still short sited if they were to scrap lifts for ramps. Lift replacement appears is needed gradually instead of wasting time going after spare parts at stations with heavy usage.
