No you are self employed WTF do you want representation .They wanted a buy back of an assett you can now rent out for about 1500 a year they promoted Hailo that now charges you 15% of your earnings .We are getting 20K off a new motor .What issues do you want them to sort ?

Like any industry there are issues we need to deal with. Illegal operators are a big problem and the NTA aren't bothered about it.

You need to deal with it .If your man was gone could you cover all the work ?How many locals would notice not enough taxis and decide to go into the industry .You are getting annoyed by the individual not the circumstance .Illegal operators are probably keeping money hungry newcommers out of your area .

There are enough legit taxis to cover the work. problem is now I suspect there are a few more illegals operating in my town, its what I predicted would happen. The cost of entry to the industry is what is keeping newcomers out of it.

The game never had intelligent representation, just deluded individuals with self-interest at heart.
All bought off in one way or another.
Try talking to fellow cabbies in your town.

There's no enforcement, T1990. Taxis meandering out of control while their drivers are fixated on their clever telephone screens are commonplace up above in Dublin. Most taxi drivers seem to consider themselves exempt from speed limits, traffic controls and road markings. While our cars are subjected to multiple tests annually there is no test for drivers whatsoever and, most Irish of all, even if you manage to encounter an enforcement officer and amass penalty points proving yourself to be incompetent your SPSV Driving Licence will still be renewed. It's a complete farce. NTA will tell you enforcement is a matter for RSA, RSA will say it's down to the Gradai, the Gardai are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I think it's safe to assume that Free Now have NTA and the Gardai in their pockets. I don't have to tell you they couldn't care a jot about your or your passengers' wellbeing, 15-30% is all that interests them.

Maybe Freenow might get the NTA and Guards to act regarding illegal operators as it will affect them.

It would be no harm to send them off an email with as much information as possible.

WHAT THE FUCK would you be contacting a Private Company for .Tell them there are illegal operators which has never been proved and they will think OH There is an opportunity for Us to promote our App and reduce full fare jobs for drivers .And Possibly Direct a few more Licenced Drivers into the area .

I wouldn't encourge FN to exert any more influence in the industry than they already do. They already have far too much influence having, effectively, increased the national taxi fare without a word from NTA.

Laffin' FN want to allow rideshare drivers on their app. They want your illegal driver on their app!

I know, I was joking. They don't even operate in my area. That guy wouldn't work for them as he doesn't like paying income tax.

Unlikely, the more drivers' ignore the rules and regulations the more money Free Now makes. In fact, I'd suggest it's for that very reason that there is no enforcement.

Court proceedings have commenced against the driver, who will be brought before an upcoming sitting of Portlaoise District Court.

At least they were not making money if they were parked up.
What were they doing parked up ? Were they waiting fer phone calls ??

One of them was on his phone, didn't see what the other guy was at. they might have been waiting for customers who they had dropped off.
