A clampdown on rickshaw drivers has been taking place in Dublin this weekend.

Gardai and Revenue were both carrying out inspections last night.

The operation was based around the Pearse Street area and mainly focused on the road-worthiness of vehicles and general public safety issues.

There are also concerns over the licensing of vehicles and drivers.

Dublin Midwest TD Derek Keating says there are a number of safety concerns when it comes to rickshaws operating in Dublin:
