A security officer working on the Luas was fired after CCTV footage captured him riding a child’s bicycle around a Luas platform close to moving trams.

During an 11-minute incident, the security guard, in uniform, could be seen cycling up and down the heavily populated platform, weaving in and out of members of the public and cycling next to moving trams and waving to passengers.
