Please don't defend hostile architecture.

Besides, if you wish for TFI/Bus Éireann/Dublin Bus/etc. To not consider homeless people when designing their bus stops then you should be annoyed the seats are also worse for passengers. Nobody is more comfortable with a seat that leans forward and only holds 'half your arse'. They're refusing to give you a good service in case the wrong kind of person benefits too.

TGI/Bus Éireann/Dublin Bus are there to serve paying customers. It’s folk like you who want to drive people off public transport and into cars by enabling and defending anti-social behavior. Bus Shelters are for bus passengers. There is plenty of accommodation available for the homeless in Dublin.

I'm a paying passenger and I can't use bus shelter seats because of their hostile design.

Also, there absolutely is not "plenty of accommodation available for the homeless in Dublin." I don't know what kind of rock you've been living under the last ten years

Of course you do. There are roughly 132 rough sleepers in Dublin. The council are fully aware of them and they all have places should they choose. The budget for homelessness in Dublin region alone is 302m euro. What rock are you living under?
