A grieving widow has been left devastated after finding out her recently-deceased husband’s taxi plate “has died with him”.
Marie Keegan couldn’t believe it when she was refused the retention of her husband's taxi licence shortly after his death.
Marie, from Drogheda, Co Louth was still in shock after her husband Tommy’s sudden death while on holiday in Lanzarote in January when she was told by the Taxi Regulator her husband’s licence died with him.
Because Tommy, 64, had not filled in a little-known S15N form, the valuable plate can not be passed on to his next-of-kin, Marie.
The Regulator claims the form was sent out to Tommy in 2014 but it has now emerged that few taxi drivers are aware that the form even exists.
Marie is desperate to get what is rightly hers and wants the rules changed to allow licences to be passed on.
She said: “It’s not the money, it’s the principle of it. Tommy killed himself working and didn’t earn more than the minimum wage when you considered all the hours he did.
“It’s the sheer unfairness of it all, because he didn’t sign something that was supposedly sent to him in 2014. How many people could remember to fill in a form they got four years ago?"
Much-loved cabbie Tommy died in hospital shortly after suffering a brain haemorrhage while the couple were on holiday in Lanzarote.
To add to her grief Marie, who had been married to Tommy for 43 years, was told that her husband’s taxi plate was gone with him.
Marie and other taxi drivers have described the situation as bureaucracy gone mad as those involved in the trade can’t cope with the amount of paperwork and regulations.
Marie praised the staff at the hospital and resort in the Canary Islands but criticised the Taxi Regulator.
She told the Mirror: “Tommy was a driver, he wasn’t a bookkeeper. He got people home at night safely, he provided a service. He didn’t do emails, he wasn’t on the internet.
“Everything from the Regulator is log on to do this and that. Tommy was old school, he didn’t do computers. How was he supposed to know about a form sent out four years ago?
“For me that plate is part of Tommy’s estate, he worked hard for it and no one has the right to take it away.
“Tommy did everything by the book and always obeyed the law and this is the way we are treated.”
Local politicians Deputy Imelda Munster and Senator Ged Nash have been in contact with Marie and are set to bring the issue to attention of the Transport Minister.
The National Transport Authority stated that the S15N form can only be used by a living licence holder to appoint a nominee to a vehicle licence.
-
Boo hooo..... Them the rules get over it

she may as well bring it to the attention of santa clause.
-
I'm guessing you all have the 15n form filled out?
-
Last month I renewed my sgs in green hills
They handed me that form with my new licence
-
I don't think I could leave a taxi plate to anyone.It gives them no advantage over Wheely taxis with their 15 year rule.
In fact if someone left me a saloon plate I'd have to assume the didn't like me.Unless of course they left 30k for a new car to go with it.
-
Fuck the hubby me plates dead rofl
-
I dont think anyone in my family would actually WANT a taxi plate in the first place
-
Tommy (R.I.P.) was 64, so his wife Marie was probably of similar age.
Was use would a taxi plate be to a 64'ish year old woman.
Her choices would have been to drive the cab herself or else keep it going
with all the relevant tests/insurance/Tax clearance, Etc and rent it out.

Had a very shocking experience about 7 pm this evening.
I picked up a man,and woman in peirse st,by the time we hit tara street the man was dead a massive heart attack .im very shocked at the miment,its very hard to take in

That's a bad experience to have DM. I had the unfortunate opportunity to watch a lady die in a car park about a year ago while on a taxi drop-off, I was fair shook fer a few days after it.
Take a day or Two off fer yourself and talk to everyone about it.

Yeah I have spoken to a good few,its very to get your head around it

@ Dalymont.
An excerpt from 'Taxi Diares', I hope it helps.
Chapter 31. Eddie Broughal. (R.I.P.)
I'll tell you a story about this old fella I did a bit of 'Good Samaritan' work on,
Edward Broughal was his name and he was from the Acre in Pouladuff, Cork.
Late one evening around the middle of May 2010, while driving the taxi,
I spotted this old fella half-knelling on the ground across the road from
the Evergreen/Mountain bar by the bus stop at about 11.20pm,
I thought he was bleeding from the head as I passed by, so I U-turned
down the road by John Banks tyres and doubled back to check on him,
sure as, he was after getting a dizzy spell and had fallen and busted his face open,
lots of blood, so I went to his aid and got some tissues from the car and dried
him up, I put him into my car and we headed for Eddies home. I brought him out
to his home in Pouladuff, he was a really nice old fella and we had a bit o banter
in the car on the way home, even after his fall, his wit was quick and dry in a true
Cork fashion, just the way I like it.
I knocked on his front door for his son Billy (about 45'ish) to come out,
but the old man (81) was getting weaker by the minute and found himself almost unable
to get out of the cab, so the Three of us headed back into the south infirmary hospital.
When we got there and got him in, the old fella was begging for water in A & E, but no one
was getting it for him, he was very weak at this stage, so I bought it for him in the vending
machine for 1.50 and before I left, I gave his son my number and asked him to ring or text
and let me know if the old lad was OK.
Billy his son promised he would and also he would sort me for the fare another day,
I told him; "There is no fare, cos he didn't flag me down, I was just doing a good deed",
the son Billy rang me a few days later, he told me the old lad was Not too good at all,
he needed many operations because he had broken a bone in his neck with the fall and
he was just too old for all the operations required.
And he went on to Thank me most sincerely for stopping to help when all others had passed by,
I've had a few phone calls since from his family, seemingly he was a most respectable man who
had ran his own business for many years, with a large extended family.
But sadly he passed away on Saturday morning 10/7/10 as a result of the fall he had on that night.
I went to the removal on the Tuesday night, I didn't see the son Billy at first, but I saw an elderly
lady sitting at the front, whom I found out later was Eddie Broughal's sister, I was in full Taxi uniform
and thought I had better introduce myself to someone, so I approached the elderly lady in the front
row and told her who I was, trying to be helpful and without drawing any attention upon myself,
as soon as I said the words "Taxi-driver", Two fellas in the row behind the old lady and Two ladies
in the front row left their seats to come over and thank me for my deed, Two of the ladies kissed
me on the cheek with tears in their eyes, also his son Billy whom I had met on the night brought all
of his Brothers over to meet me and I joked with the brothers how Eddie had been the cause of
much Banter in the base, "As to whether I got the fare or not", and I added;
"It was only just banter, but in the usual, very bad Cork taste",
and his son Billy replied; "That's just the way, he would have liked it" !!
I dropped in a Mass card also the next day to the church at the funeral mass and I was again met
with a similar greeting by his family, I think they all saw him lying helpless and in need of assistance
on the side of the road and I was the only stranger who stopped and helped.
After all the services, Etc. I got a lovely 'Thank you' card delivered into the base and a Voucher for a
chinese restaurant in town from Eddie Broughal's family which I gave to my mother and she was delighted
with it, she took my sister for Two meals on that voucher and I'm very well pleased with that too.
A few months later, I was contacted by the Gardai and I had to call to the Bishopstown station to fill
out a coroners court report for what happened on the night and I received a personal 'Thank you'
from an Garda Siochana for my deed.
And just in case I hadn't been thanked enough, I got a strange phone call a few months later,
a number on my phone which I did not recognize, but I answered it anyway, the voice said;
"I'm Eddie Broughal's Grandson", everything else I was doing was dropped immediately and I
collected a very handsome and intelligent young lad and brought him to his required destination,
he thanked me along the way for what I did for his grandfather, I was surprised how close
grandchild and grandfather can be, but I appreciatively took all of his thanks.
Many months later I received a Memorial card about Eddie from the Broughal family
and that takes Pride of Place in my Home today.
This story is written and presented here with the full permission and Thanks from the Broughal family.

Keep talking (even to us Heathen's) you be surprised, but we can actually
be quite socialable toward a comrade in strife.
Be warned, you will in the next few weeks have to make a statement to the
coroner, this could be done in Two ways. If it's very straight-forward then you
could make a statement at the Garda station (as I did above) you talk, the Guard
writes it all down and that's the end of it.
Or you might be called to give oral evidence in court, either way it's not a big deal,
you didn't do anything wrong and most likely you will receive a 'Thank you' from
An Garda Siochana or the Judge.

Thanks for your concern belker,had a good talk tonight at a meeting I was and shared it all with the group

Marie, from Drogheda, Co Louth was still in shock after her husband Tommy’s sudden death while on holiday in Lanzarote in January when she was told by the Taxi Regulator her husband’s licence died with him.
Because Tommy, 64, had not filled in a little-known S15N form, the valuable plate can not be passed on to his next-of-kin, Marie.
Plates haven't been "valuable" since entry liberalisation back in the year 2000.
Pearse St to Tara Street, I'd say that'd be a record for boring a punter to death, DM. What were yis talking about?
Musta been a shock, mind you.
-
Was more then a shock rat,he was screaming for an ambulance,then suddently all the roaring stopped.I done CPR, but it was unsuccesfull.when the fire brigade,and ambulance came ,the tried shock treatment on him 4 times,but he was unresponsive.I felt so sorry for his wife who was sitting in the back,he was beside me in the front passenger seat.head still wrecked,but a little better today
-
You done all you could by the sound of it. It's over 30 years since I learned first aid and I've never given CPR so I'm not sure that I'd know what to do other than panic in the heat of the moment. Fair play.
-
Did you get paid for the trip?
-
Well he was a huge big man,carrying a lot of weight.the chief fire officer told that all the CPR in the world would not have saved him because of his weight
-
Defibrillators will be next for our safety kits

Another very bad experience tonight,and something I feel embarresed abour.was almost finished my shift about 5am this morning was hust passing by the store st rank.no other taxis ,so I thought to myself ill give it 10mins and see can I get a fare.very soon 3 creamers women from cork came out of store st Garda station,and got into my car wanting to be taken to cork.there was no way I was taking them to cork,not least because they had no money.after an argument,they got out of the car.when they got out,one of them gave the car door a very hard kick.I made the stupid mistake of getting out to see if there was any damage.when I did,I was dragged to the ground,and kicks were raining in from every direction.thank God, rhe cops seen what happened,and respinded very quickly.between the man dying in the car on Friday night,and this assult last night,in seriously considering wether or not, I can continue in the industry.I said at the start I was embarresed,and I am because it was girls.but honestly I could not believe the phsyical strenght of them.in very shaken up.this has been the worst weekend I have ever had in the industry
-
Ah come on, your taking the piss now !!
-
JESUS CHRIST PAUL ! That is One bad weekend !
The worst of it being that they were cream crackers, the cops don't chase cream crackers,
you will be blessed if'n ya even get the price of the door fixing from them in-bred scum.
Keep the head up, it can only get better ! :2cheers

I hope you recover soon. Take a few days away from the wheel.
You'll get loads of coulda, woulda, shoulda, ...ignore it.
You were a victim of the moment.
We're all great at giving advice to others, but it's only a matter of time or luck before something similar happens to them.
I wish you well in your recovery..
-
Did you get paid for the trip?
Don't be so insensitive Tony, for fook sake !!
-
Of course he's taking the piss..... Cops don't respond that quick...
Take a few days off and relax, reassess your situation /working hours etc.
Remember everything that has happened over the last few days your was not your doing, put it down to wrong place at wrong time.
What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
-
Thanks very much for the support lads,im going through loads of different emotions at the moment.it all happend so suddently.I was totally disorientated while on the ground as I sais, I just couldnt believe the phisical strenght of them.they were just like wild animials as the kicks to the head,and ribs came.thank God I dont feel sore this morning,but I certainly feel emotionally scared because of both weekend events.the cops asked me if I wanted to press charges,but I said no I just want to try and put it all behind me
-
You're welcome.
..and remember the number one rule, never get out of the car.
-
Best of luck with the recovery Dalymount.I know this might be a stupid question but what's so great about the Store street rank at 5am?Is there lots of Airport work from there?I wouldn't park there at 5pm meself.I reckon the cops were watching them out the window when they released them but wouldn't leave the station without backup.Should be plenty CCTV around there too.

The ferry buses drop there.
-
Ah ok thanks.
-
Not a rank I'd hang around either, whatever comes out of a cop shop at that hour is only trouble.
Inanyways I don't understand why you won't press charges against these tramps, and as I said take a few days off and relax.
-
Personally I would have pressed charges DM, but then again I am sitting at home with the heater on and not like you sitting at home with a bruised body. I just hate to see the knacker bitches get away with it all.
Best of Luck from real Cork on your recovery.
-

5am is the usual release time from the 'Drunk Tank', best to avoid those areas at that time,
especially anyone with a sheet of paper (Charge sheet) in hand.
-
The cops told their kids were taken off them yesterday,and this why they wanted me to take them to cork.although why ey were in Dublin I dont know.ill be honest the reasons I wont press charges is,firstly I just want them out of my life,and honestly fear of reprocissions .after its the cremers we are ealing with here.im 64-years of age ,and hopefully I have a bit of time left.I would like to enjoy it without thoughts of those tramps
-
Sorry for your trouble DM. A better day is coming.
-
Thanks Bob

Jaysus, you've had more grief in a few days than I've had in over 20 years, DM. As far as the first instance is concerned you should be nothing other than proud of the way you handled the situation. The other one, however easier said than done, just needs to be put down to experience. If any of us were to focus on the inherent dangers we face driving taxis up above in Dublin we wouldn't go to work at all.
-
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement

Jaysus DM. Mind yourself. At least you and your car are in one piece.
Take a few days away from the taxi and take stock.
The Bus Aras rank is also used by folk coming out of Isaacs, Jacobs Inn and a few other hostels
-
I gotta agree with Rats, you should be proud of the way you handled the First situation with the CPR and all that DM.
As fer the Second situation, nobody could have seen that coming, you were just in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
I've shared your tales with many customers/other taxi drivers and friends over the weekend,
I think I'm in shock myself over it all.
Best wishes from Cork.

Take a few days off DM, you might not think you need it, but there is a lorra wise old heads on here and they all say the same "Take a few days off", what I have found over the years is that if'n everyone is saying the same thing, then it's usually Right !

Thanks for the advice lads,I will seriously consider what you are saying.I do actually have somewhere that I go quite regularlly when I need head space I might just go
-
LOL ! With the exception of R.A.G week, Paddies and Easter I've hardly done a decent week since the year turned !
I'm getting miz Joe branded on Fri mid-day and then Ed Sheeran fer 3 nights, should be good !
-

Do that DM, go there.
I too have a few spots that I find most tranquil, most of all is the Giants Causeway, but it's a tad far away from Cork.
Next best is Myrtleville beach in Cork, an hour there skimming a few stones off the water and all is good in the world !
-
My go to place is anywhere along the east coast, late night/ early morning and watch the sun rising. Nothing beats the dawning of a new day

Well my place that I go to ,and having being going twice a year along with 4 other friends is a place called mount mellary abbey. Run by the cistercian trappist monks,onthe slopes of the knockmealdown mountains,it offers great head space for those who need it

I just go fishing on a beach somewhere, the secret is you have to like your own company.

The little grotto at the bottom of the hill is my favourite spot.

......I said at the start I was embarresed,and I am because it was girls.but honestly I could not believe the phsyical strenght of them.....
I wouldn't lose too much sleep over the fact that it was Girls, DM.
I was watching a junkie fight last night in Cork between Two girls in dressing-gowns (25'ish) and Two male trackies (again 25'ish), one lad was tall about 6,1 the other was short about 5,6. The Two girls battered Six shades a shite outta the Two lads landing blows to the face at will and dragging/kicking them all over the street.
-
I know the feeling Ken
-
You tried days (or a day) and didn't like it, DM. I have a suggestion you won't like but should consider... give mytaxi a go for a week or two and see what you think. As you know, it's extremely popular with customers. A side effect of that is a far higher concentration of scum amongst street hails which, in essence, makes driving at night with no app or radio the most dangerous operational methodology open to us.
Started back on me exercise bike on Monday, your heart attack victim kinda focussed me mind a bit... so, thanks for that.
-
Peddling scum..
The only problem with..... Well one problem with mybollix is that you get little drug dealers using you to carry them around to drop off their deals.
-
Thanks for the advice rat,but I would feel to much like I was back in the PAYE sector,but I really do appreiceate your suggestion.as regards exersise,I do a 10 k walk 6days a week,and I totally enjoy it if your ever out by clontarf say hello I usually walk from the wooden bridge to sutton and back
-
Try days for two weeks,most of the time yer getting paid to sit in traffic.Jobs that used to be 10/11 euro during the bad times are sometimes 16/17.After a while ya get used to it.
-
Milltown to Ely Place at 9 o'clock the other morning €27.50.The traffic was horrendous.

I doubt I'm the only man in the world who has a peddle while watching countdown.
In my experience a lot of drug dealers and their clients use mytaxi but I've yet to have any trouble from any of them. For the most part they are clients one wouldn't entertain on the street and I think they appreciate that so don't want to dirty their bibs with mytaxi, so to speak. However, while mytaxi isn't a foolproof way to avoid runners/potential aggressors, it is used by a much higher proportion of decent folk than scumbags hence the remaining street hails contain a much higher concentration of scum.
-
It's all OK bringing one of these little drug dealing scum around till one of their friends decide to put a few bullets in them while in your car, and you'll be the only witness so it bullet for you too.
-
That's one of the dangers we face. I guess it could happen on a mytaxi job or a street hail. These days, shootings are all too common up above in Dublin. If memory serves, one of our colleagues/competitors was caught in the crossfire a while back.

@ DM, I would definately agree with Rats on this.
You stated that you were a night time driver (like myself), let me tell you the MyTaxi app hops constantly all night long (even if you are non-priority/non-ambassador) and the work coming off that app is 95% Clean work even by night, even at that you get to see your customer walking out to you and if'n ya don't like the Look of him, then just drive away, cancel the job, add in 'Too Drunk' as the reason and move on.
I went 'Ambassador' just last week and believe me, I am not in the PAYE mentality and neither does anyone ever get to tell me what to do.
The PUC covers the commission.

Why would a dealer use a traceable Taxi app to deliver his deals ?
I'm not a drug dealer, but if'n I was, then I sure would not be using a completely traceable Taxi app to deliver my product.

Forgiv me dally m. me advice for Wat it's worth.....I did about 4million quid on hailo Sunday nite / Monday morn in clontarf.....
Because of bank holiday obviously....
Got couple jobs into town and I turned me roof lite off an headed back to the bull cause I wasn't in the humour for shite..... ( cudn find me medication an waz fit to strangle sum c..t) ...
Anyway i don't use a rank at nite except one we'r I can say in a polite way " fuk off I'm booked.... An most the time me lite is off.....
I find cowardice keeps me out of trouble most of the time unless sum nights I'm in the mood for murder.....
Sometimes I think I'm a part time sociopath..... Nutjob... But today not eatin meat so I must ok.
Anyway if yu get wary after yur recent bad luck....
Doors locked
Lite off.
Work the app or radio
Keep off the rank
Pick and choose
And if yu look up the passenger app yu can see we'r there's no taxis workin the app so yu can head out there...
Hope yu doin good
-
Ok
-
.....I find cowardice keeps me out of trouble most of the time......
Unlikely it is 'Cowardice' Octy. If'n you were a 'Coward', then most unlikely you would be a night time Taxi driver.
There is no place in our game fer Cowards. Our night time Job is well paid, but it is Not fer the Faint of Heart !

Unlikely it is 'Cowardice' Octy. If'n you were a 'Coward', then most unlikely you would be a night time Taxi driver.
There is no place in our game fer Cowards. Our night time Job is well paid, but it is Not fer the Faint of Heart !
Naa it's definitely cowardice ken...
I'm a survivor
Bravado can kill ya....

Why would a dealer use a traceable Taxi app to deliver his deals ?
I'm not a drug dealer, but if'n I was, then I sure would not be using a completely traceable Taxi app to deliver my product.
Phones are traceable regardless of how they travel. Using their own motor cars or hiring a private driver would create an easily identifiable constant whereas using taxis means they could be in any of 20,000 cars at any given time. Some (not all) have the sense to order with throwaway phones in fictitious names and they generally pay cash so knowing that someone took a taxi from A to B is of little evidential value. Other factors to consider include the fact that most have the Gardai onside up above in Dublin, drug dealing is much more overt than was the case 10 or 20 years ago and, even if they come across a checkpoint manned by hostile Gardai, being in a taxi affords them the opportunity to tuck their contraband under a seat or floor mat and deny any knowledge of it in the highly unlikely event of it being found. With media coverage of taxi driver unions protecting drug pushers' rights to drive taxis for some extra income and/or to disguise their occupations it'd be difficult to conclusively determine culpability.

They could always claim the drugs were belonging to the Taxi Driver, which in the case of a Keshie and TTnH member it would be true.
