Coronavirus Ireland: Exact moment idiot removed from Dublin train by Gardai for repeatedly refusing to wear mask

This is the moment an idiot is bundled off a Dublin to Cork train by Gardai after repeatedly refusing to wear a face mask.

The careless person was asked several times by a member of Irish Rail to comply by the rules and wear the covering while on the train that left Heuston Station at 7pm.

After various clashes with the man, the Irish Rail security deployed the help of Gardai ahead of their stop in Thurles.

Two Gardai boarded the train just after 8:20pm while stopped there and removed him much to the relief and delight of everyone onboard.

"Gardaí boarded and removed a male who refused to wear a face covering."

She added: "No further information is available at this time."
