Young boys recorded taking a horse through the Burger King drive-thru in Finglas, North Dublin

Some young bucks left a North Dublin drive-thru startled when they rolled on in with a more unusual form of transport.

There's just something about Dublin and strange horse-stories. Whether it's Ballyfermot's 'Jeep' carriage, the Finglas horse going shopping, or that time one took the Luas.

This week's odd horse news story involves a group of young bucks, a craving for some chips, and a Burger King drive-thru.

 

Footage taken by Greg Collins shows the youngsters riding out of the Finglas joint, chips in hand, as they take her back on the road.

Greg said the lads looked on average about eight, and they turned a lot of heads as they rolled out.

He said: "Don’t know what they got but one of the fellas was eating chips. There were a few people staring as they were leaving but I didn’t see the staff [reaction]."

Drive-thru's on the Northside have been in the news a lot lately.

A couple of weeks ago in Artane one hamburgler was papped as he snatched a meal and and ran like the wind.

Like a tiger hunting it's prey, he waits for the perfect moment before pouncing, and in a flash he's gone leaving the driver's dangling arm reaching out for nothing.

The footage was taken by Stephen Hyland who noticed something was up when he saw the young lad creeping behind the car.

He whipped out the camera and caught the kid making a dash for the grub just as it gets handed out the window.

Hopefully the unsuspecting driver managed to get their grumbling stomach sorted in the end.
