According to your database, the licence holder for 20789 is Paul Glennon and 'no records found' for Abubakar Ayyub.

20789 is the same on TfIs app / NTAs online register. i.e. owned and driven by Paul.

However, we do have a record of Mr. Ayyub... working for Free Now rival, Intercity Cabs:

In fact, Mr. Ayyub first came to our bots' attention* last month - as posted in the Cead Mile Failte thread in the members' lounge - when he was linked to a different taxi altogether. I guess he gets around:

N2375   12/10/2024   ABUBAKAR AYYUB         T18275 (BRENDAN MCCORMACK)

*Our bots only find new drivers when they are linked to plates on TfIs Driver Check app. As drivers can (un)link themselves at will it's not a completely foolproof system. Plates are generally only scanned once a month so if the driver happens to be unlinked at that precise point in time he won't be picked up by our bots.

That screen grab suggests his driver licence expires 12.10.2024. if it's a 5 yr driver licence, he started 12.10.2019? When did he graduate FN 'school'? Maybe he was doing a postgrad?

I don't know the date of the newspaper clipping as someone sent it to me for some reason. I guess it could be a few years old but our bots only came across Mr. Ayyub last month so there's some sort of coincidence in there somewhere. Do An Garda Siochana issue shorter duration SPSVDLs for dodgy looking migrants?

Some of these lads are on a student visa in Ireland and don't get a 5 year psv...some get a 3 or 4 year psv

I thought foreign students could only work 20-ish hours in a PAYE job, not self-employed?

Actually, I have a vague memory of an asylum seeker who only got a year to year licence until he got citizenship. Think he took a court case looking for a full licence?
