Luas has responded after a horse was brought on-board one of its trams yesterday.

The animal was brought on at the Belgard stop.

The horse and its owner were asked to leave by the driver, once the irregular passenger was spotted.

But Luas is seeing the lighter side of it all, tweeting with the hashtag 'No Ticket, Neigh Ride'.

It is also reminding people - and animals - that they need a valid ticket when travelling on the Luas.

They have tweeted this unusual reminder:
