Unfair Luas Fine – Machines Not Working, Still Got Penalised – What Can I Do?

    Hi everyone,

    I’d really appreciate your advice. I recently received a €45 fine on the Luas after I boarded at a stop where both ticket machines were out of service. I took a video clearly showing the machines were rebooting and unusable. I explained this to the inspector, but I was removed from the tram and fined.

    I already submitted an appeal to Luas, but they rejected it. I have proof, including the video. I’ve now been told to pay the fine or go to court.

    Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there anything else I can do? Can I get support from the NTA or other public bodies?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
