This is Bollox I told Kathleen and Kelly there was a problem with the system.As A taxi licence is NOT a licence to work there is no requirement for anybody applying for a PSV driving licence to hold a work visa .OR a driving licence .Just like a TV licence dosent mean you have to watch telly or a Fishing Licence dosent mean you have to fish ,A taxi licence does not mean you have to operate a taxi .THATS THE LAW as it stands .

Councillors and MEP's can do fuk all about taxis.  They're more concerned with DNA testing of dog shite to identify naughty, naughty dogs (https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/dublin-councillors-propose-dna-testing-15890201) and not getting any free diaries from the council (https://www.herald.ie/news/diary-row-is-the-straw-that-broke-the-camels-back-say-councillors-36419981.html)

The Taxi Advisory Committee (https://www.nationaltransport.ie/about-us/taxi-advisory-committee/) has one representative from the local authorities and she's a planner, not a politician!

Watty there are a lot of taxi roofies parked up in plenty of council estates .Councillors are usually TDs in waiting .A lot of them serve on the local policing board and as the Gards issue licences they can put pressure on themfor answers .

Still no comment from Mytaxi.How many illegal journeys were taken on the app?Will those customers be refunded?Will drivers be compensated for any work lost out to higher ranked illegal drivers and possibly illegal shambassadors?.

The bogey driving licences are all over the kip .Lads buying themfor 400 to use as Id to get into pubs and get insurance .Rumour in the area was Pakistani In Lucan supplying them .Meet up with you and he had a screen and a camers took your pic and a deposit then rang when the licence was done for balance of payment .

The NTA probably dont wanna dig too deep as they'll lose more drivers at a time when they say new drivers are needed.

Councillors can vote them some extra coin for community policing .

Dont be so fucking ridicilous Dollymount .Your reps encourage more drivers to enter the business so them and their mates can rent them cars and they can do their books .Next time your over in Finglas drop into South Side Motors and see which rep body have offices in this renters property .

Finglas is in West Dublin, erm... not South Side.

Put a switch on your printer and a roll will last several years... usually yellows after 2 or 3 years... free from the depot anyway.

Give the odd shop staffer a free lift and get some till rolls, all given free to shops by the visa and mastercard.
