I wouldn't have a problem with licensed buskers in the stations, but I think they should be kept out of the carriages. Not everyone wants to hear them and while you can walk past someone in a single spot, getting trapped in a carriage with it could become frustrating. Also, when they come looking for money, it can be intimidating for someone who doesn't speak much of the local language.
I've encountered this in France, the UK and the Netherlands. It's disheartening to learn that it's spreading to Dublin.
