The Luas operator has sent CCTV footage to Gardaí after protesters crowded onto a tram in Dublin yesterday and told passengers to take off their face coverings.
It happened on a Red Line tram following a rally at the HSE's headquarters by groups opposed to public health restrictions.
Transdev says failing to wear a mask is against the law with only limited exceptions.
