Mark Hehir

Mark Hehir, a 62-year-old bus driver originally from Limerick, has gained public attention after he heroically chased down a thief who stole a necklace from a passenger on his bus. His actions, which included physically confronting the thief, led to his dismissal by Metroline, prompting widespread outcry and support from the public, including a petition with over 125,000 signatures and a GoFundMe campaign that raised more than £28,000.
