Title: banning taxies from college green .
Post by: john m on February 19, 2018, 08:56:10 am: Green Councillor and Chair of the City Council's Transport Committee, Ciarán Cuffe, said banning taxis could be part of the solution to the congestion at College Green.
"We have to make sure that Dublin doesn't grind to a halt and that includes taxis. If we think that taxis are part of the congestion in College Green we may have to look at perhaps taking them out during peak hours. PEAK HOURS now where did I hear that before ?I wonder will there be an exemption for WATs ?

That might take away a lot of traffic heading towards Pearse St/RDS/Ballsbridge etc
