Title: Crackdown on illegal immigrant taxi drivers
Post by: Dr. Martin Gooter Bling on August 07, 2018, 03:49:41 am
https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/crackdown-on-illegal-immigrant-taxi-drivers-37191230.html

A total of 27 taxi drivers are under investigation as a result of a multi-agency crackdown involving the immigration bureau.

The operation, codenamed Vantage, followed an analysis of new and existing applicants for public service vehicle (PSV) licences.

It identified a huge increase in the number of applications for licences from non-EU nationals over the past 18 months.

The study showed, in particular, a disproportionate rise in applications from Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals. This led to the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) focusing on the validity of their immigration status and examining their past.

The figures showed there had been 70 applications for taxi licences by nationals from those three countries in 2016.

But the number jumped dramatically to 290 in 2017, more than all of the applications made the previous year.

Last January, the Garda carriage office reported that 40 out of 58 new applications were from non-EU nationals.

Following further inquiries by gardaí, it was decided to set up multi-agency checkpoints with GNIB backed up by multi-agency personnel including the Department of Social Protection. Three locations were selected for the checkpoints, at St John's Road, inbound and outbound, and Military Road, all close to Heuston Station, on the night of the Ed Sheeran concert in the Phoenix Park in Dublin.

A senior Garda officer said: "The purpose of the checkpoints was to identify and detect any criminal offences and/or breaches of relevant legislation and immigration controls, being committed by public service vehicle licence holders.

"It was suspected there were a number of people operating as illegal taxi drivers and individuals committing offences contrary to road traffic legislation," the officer added.

During the checkpoints 110 vehicles were inspected and the drivers interviewed. Further inquiries are under way into the immigration status of 27 drivers in the State.

Most of them are being investigated for suspected involvement in marriages of convenience, or sham marriages, to circumvent the immigration laws.

The residency cards of a number of drivers have already been revoked, as a result of alleged links to sham marriages, fraud and breaches of EU treaty rights. Several of those decisions are now under appeal.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/sham-marriages-many-foreign-taxi-drivers-involved-garda-suspects-1.3588034?mode=amp (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/sham-marriages-many-foreign-taxi-drivers-involved-garda-suspects-1.3588034?mode=amp)

As many as one in four foreign national taxi drivers stopped at recent illegal immigration checkpoints are suspected of having entered into sham marriages, gardaí believe.

During an operation in May, established to coincide with an Ed Sheeranconcert in Phoenix Park, Dublin, some 110 drivers were stopped.

Of those, 26 are believed to have paid to marry a woman from Europe they had never met so they could secure the right to reside and work in the Republic, according to gardaí.

All of the men are from outside the EU and gardaí have already revoked the immigration status they had secured when they married European women in the Republic.

The men are now appealing that revocation and are permitted to remain in Ireland until their appeals are completed.

Garda sources said there was concern within the force that such a high percentage of no-EU drivers stopped at three checkpoints during a one-hour operation were suspected of cheating the immigration system.

One man, from India, was about to attend a special citizenship ceremony but that has now been deferred on suspicion his marriage is a sham.

Garda sources said the decision to target taxi drivers specifically so their immigration status could be scrutinised was made after unusual patterns were detected in new public service vehicle (PSV) applications.

“We noticed a big increase in the number of men from outside the EU applying and it wasn’t clear why this was happening,” said one officer.

Gardaí knew they could check a lot of taxis very quickly at the same locations before news of the checkpoint locations spread

Another source said 58 new applications for PSV licences were lodged with the carriage office in January, 40 of which came from men outside the EU. He described this as “way outside the norm”.

The same officer said the increases had been a feature for around 18 months. And when some of the applicants’ immigration histories were checked it emerged they had previously tried to secure status in Europe.

Social welfare

It was then decided to target the Ed Sheeran concert on May 18th at three locations close to the park because gardaí knew they could check a lot of taxis very quickly at the same locations before news of the checkpoint locations spread and drivers began avoiding the area.

The checkpoints were led the Garda National Immigration Bureau and also involved the Garda Carriage Office, Garda National Roads Policing Unit, the National Transport Authority as the taxi regulator, UK Common Travel Liaison Officers and Department of Social Protection.

Some of the drivers were found to be fraudulently claiming social welfare though working. In some cases, on-the-spot fines were issued to other for various breaches of PSV regulations.

However, it was the suspected involvement of a quarter of the drivers in sham marriages that caused gardaí most concern.

Sham marriages are marriages of convenience, normally between a man from outside the EU and a woman from a member state. The so-called brides are usually from Eastern Europe and are paid a fee to marry the men, who secure the right to reside and work in Ireland through their marriage. The Garda’s Operation Vantage has been established with a view to cracking down on the problem.

Had this discussion with Kathleen.and the Minister and the answer is .A taxi licence IS NOT a licence to work therefore there is no requirement by law to hold any visa to get a taxi licence .I asked if a taxi licence is not a licence to work then what other purpose does it serve .So I said to the Minister .A blind man who cannot see the television must have a TV licence even though he cannot see the TV as a TV licence gives him the right to operate  a TV  just like a PSV gives the holder the right to operate a Taxi and A taxi by its nature is a Commercial undertaking then a Psv driving is a defacto licence to work and as suck should be Visa Compliant .

Whats stunning about this is they stopped 110 taxis and now 27 of that number are under investigation. I mean that is pretty much 25% of taxi drivers they stopped being illegal which indicates that this is a huge problem and one that is stealing the living of those who are doing it by the book.

Under investigation doesn't mean they scammed anything until it's proven.All them Uber lads from the Uk had to go somewhere while Uber was suspended.Ireland has one of the cheapest taxi industries to enter in Europe.

At least they passed the new taxi test.That's someting I suppose.

Wait until they figure out they can bring their mates in via gay marriage...

Some of them could have been wearing Ed Sheeran t-shirts.  Any man who is a fan of Ed Sheeran is automatically suspect in my book :)


On a serious note, it is a good point.  If the inspectors are only hanging around the train stations etc, it's pure bad luck if a boogie gets caught.

Yes exactly,
So why the  big surprise now.
It's been going on for years,
18 years in fact,
Every 3rd or 4th taxi now is a foreign
Driver, especially at night.
Non EU at that,
What a laff ,the PSV test was made much harder to pass,
Not for....
Chinese,
Pakistanis,
Indians,
Sub saharan,
Africans,
They all find it a piece of piss,
Jumping through the hoops not a bother, on the road in no time,

While thousands of Irish driving around on provisional licences,
Because they can't pass the driving test,

The Lefty snowflakes half the country fucked.

I would disagree with you on 1 thing sclass,it's not every 4th driver that is  foreign,it's probably every 2th driver I honestly believe that there are now more of them then there are of us.what always amazes me is,how the fukk these people are passing the test,when in some cases they cannot even speak English.also they are only vetted from the day they arrive in this country with no knowledge of any criminal record from their country of origin nationality

I'm born and raised in Dublin city, far from stupid and it took me 6 attempts at the test before I passed it.
There's absolutely no way these fuckers are passing this test legitimately.

That aside, it should be a requirement that taxi drivers must have Irish citizenship, as it is in many other European countries.
To think you can rock into Ireland on a bogus English student visa and then cheat a taxi test and go driving a taxi is absolutely shocking.

+1


Shocking it is,
Speaking to numerous TDs
You would be shocked at their ignorance of the taxi industry,
Their interest in the Taxi game is zero,
With up to 6000 taxi drivers out there what's a few more added to the fleet,
the last thing they want to do is open a can of worms.

I would say TDS are well aware of the illegality within our industry. The problem is they are terrified of the backlash from the immigrant council of Ireland, if they say anything to criticise migrants who work in it.they figure the best thing to do is to turn a blind eye.look at poor auld Boris Johnston.all he said was that muzzies look like letter boxes,and now the bleeding hearts brigade are calling for his resignation

there should at the very least be a 5 year residency rule. if someone cannot speak English properly, how the fukk could the pass the test. whats even more worrying is, they are only vetted from the date of their arrival in  this country,with no history of any criminal record they might have from their country of origin

We do  have disadvantage areas for a long time now,

It's painfully obvious these people are getting their licences through illigetimate means. (That's the ones who bother with licences) the fact is we,the legal,compliant drivers are having our livlehoods stolen from us by illegal imports,and the government don't have the balls to do anything about it for fear of upsetting the influencel immigrant council of Ireland,and that is a fact.

The Doob disadvantaged area accent is terrible on the ear, but still it is a slow drawl and easy enough to understand.
And not nearly as bad as the Limerick almost Gamon accent.
The Cork disadvantaged area accent is probably one of the fastest speaking accents.

Doing a Minibus tour/chaffeur/roadie job fer 'Go West' with me mate Din from the Northside a few years back,
we pull up outside the Clarion hotel and help to unload their gear on to the hotel trolley, but it wasn't fitting,
so Din comes out with this nugget at lightning fast speed; "I'l tro strp ou i fer now n cum ba fer i n de morn" !
One of the English band members looking astounded sez to me in his Cockney accent; "What the fuck did he just say ?".

Dalyer, I posted a link for you last month approx about what a former Irish Attorney-General had to say about "homogeneity" or "sameness" in Western Europe....this has all been done by design,,,if you want to get angry with someone then take on the big boys and girls behind it like Hillary Clinton and Tony Blair and Merkel....Why did Clinton bomb Ghadaffi out of it? Why are the Yanks desperate to get Assad out?

Simple In most of the countries they come from you can have a tribe of wives if you got the Bronz most of these young fellas couldnt afford a box of Cadburys Roses and two tickets to the Pictures they come from religious backward kips just like Ireland was in the 40s 50s 60s and just like the Irish in Cricklewood or Boston they Clan togeather until they realize they are free to do what they like .Wont take long before you see Mo and Ish hanging around Paddy Powers or the George

  .The Foreigner who comes in here to drive a taxi is a loser he presents no danger to you or me he is one of us a worker living from paypacket to paypacket but we focus our anger on him while the Liberal left and the middle classes driven on by the extreme right go about their business .The biggest danger to us all is EDUCATION .Your Labour party or your Profit From The People Crowd joined by SF/FF/FG.Social democrats all shout about underfunding in education .Mary from the Flats gets voted into the Senate as a Senator representing the illiterate educated upwardly mobile kid who would of never gotten the chance if it wasent for FREE third Level education .Now whats really happening with free third level education is the wealthy families who would of sent their kids to University anyway and paid for it are now getting it subsidised .Bottom line The upwardly mobile Middle Class remain upwardly mobile and the Working class remain working class but a little better educated .

The danger now comes from education .Like Nazism where there was a super human blond blue eyed Male the Ubermensch who stood out as superior from others now we have the University Educated Ubermensch It starts from what 2nd level college you attended to which Uni and did you go on to Smurfit of Oxbridge .Read any of the on line job requirements most of them require a degree just to be a stock controller (shelf Stacker)The well educated well connected Unermensch will continue to get the good jobs then there  are the Underfurers only  Educated dummies will get any sort of reasonable employment while the Poor are still the poor but we no longer decide if your poor based on coin in your pocket but what degree you have and who you know .

  This country wont be lost to a few immigrants it will be stolen from under our eyes by a few clever cunts while we keep fighting the wrong enemy Your anger is focused on all the wrong people

Agree entirely with you there Octy....the true aim of political correctness is to get a person to silence themselves. This has been a carefully constructed premise from before WW2........I could post up hundreds of links for you to peruse but it still won't change anything. Have look back at what happened in pre war Germany and spot the similarities.

Here is an interesting question some of you might have a theory on ? Every other day on the news,there are boat loads of migrants heading for Europe.how come they are ALL young men in their 20s ?

Are Refugees Overwhelmingly Young and Male? (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/refugee-invaders-meme/)  (Snopes.com)

Quote
However, the statistics on refugees contradict this claim.  According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as of 16 March 2016 they had recorded nearly 5 million registered Syrian refugees: 2.1 million of them in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, another 1.9 million in Turkey, and more than 28,000 in North Africa. Of that group of 5 million refugees, more than half (50.7%) are female:

Quote
Given the risk of drowning and arrest, and others that are not immediately obvious such as rape or assault, many men decide to go ahead alone and send for their families later, once they have established themselves in their new countries.

A colleague, soundest, straightest guy you could meet, taxiing a long time, had a bit of rough justice yesterday, he just wasn't thinking and probably should have known better.
Changed his car, transferred insurance, nct'd, got stickers, had his meter and roof sign fitted yesterday, Wednesday, with his suitability, window stickers, booked for today,Thursday. Unfortunately he went to DAP to collect his son yesterday without taking his roofsign off, and had the roofsign impounded at DAP because he had no window stickers. He was told that the roofsign would be at Greenhills for him today when he goes for suitability and the fine/prosecution would be up to the NTA. Waiting to hear if all went well today. Suppose the inspector was just doing his job, and supose that I would have no sympathy if it wasn't "one of us".

It's great that both the Taxi Regulators and Applus staff work 9-5..
I think in the interest of common sense they'll just give him a warning.

In the 100k taxis that we have in the country, has anyone ever heard of anyone using the med kit in the course of their work, and did that usage justify all the hassles associated with same for driver and inspector alike? What difference does a CE mark make to Hi Viz?. Are these visual fails, i.e no 2nd fee?

Here is an interesting question some of you might have a theory on ? Every other day on the news,there are boat loads of migrants heading for Europe.how come they are ALL young men in their 20s ?
Simple In most of the countries they come from you can have a tribe of wives if you got the Bronz most of these young fellas couldnt afford a box of Cadburys Roses and two tickets to the Pictures they come from religious backward kips just like Ireland was in the 40s 50s 60s and just like the Irish in Cricklewood or Boston they Clan togeather until they realize they are free to do what they like .Wont take long before you see Mo and Ish hanging around Paddy Powers or the George

  .The Foreigner who comes in here to drive a taxi is a loser he presents no danger to you or me he is one of us a worker living from paypacket to paypacket but we focus our anger on him while the Liberal left and the middle classes driven on by the extreme right go about their business .The biggest danger to us all is EDUCATION .Your Labour party or your Profit From The People Crowd joined by SF/FF/FG.Social democrats all shout about underfunding in education .Mary from the Flats gets voted into the Senate as a Senator representing the illiterate educated upwardly mobile kid who would of never gotten the chance if it wasent for FREE third Level education .Now whats really happening with free third level education is the wealthy families who would of sent their kids to University anyway and paid for it are now getting it subsidised .Bottom line The upwardly mobile Middle Class remain upwardly mobile and the Working class remain working class but a little better educated .

The danger now comes from education .Like Nazism where there was a super human blond blue eyed Male the Ubermensch who stood out as superior from others now we have the University Educated Ubermensch It starts from what 2nd level college you attended to which Uni and did you go on to Smurfit of Oxbridge .Read any of the on line job requirements most of them require a degree just to be a stock controller (shelf Stacker)The well educated well connected Unermensch will continue to get the good jobs then there  are the Underfurers only  Educated dummies will get any sort of reasonable employment while the Poor are still the poor but we no longer decide if your poor based on coin in your pocket but what degree you have and who you know .

  This country wont be lost to a few immigrants it will be stolen from under our eyes by a few clever cunts while we keep fighting the wrong enemy Your anger is focused on all the wrong people

I've seen you post on these subjects a few times and it's always the same oul dribble parroted from the cultural Marxist standpoint which never stands up to even the slightest scrutiny.

Based on your false perceptions I take it you have never actually been to Africa or the Middle East, therefore, your opinions are based on nothing other than what you've been told to believe by the globalist owned media and what you "feel"

The African culture and worldview/social norms are not the same as western culture, they are not in any way comparable, the worldview of an African or someone from Pakistan or the Middle East is so far removed from what we in the west would consider normal that you would struggle to comprehend it.

There is also no comparison between Irish emigrants to the USA or the UK and the current invasion of Europe my young military-aged men by the hundreds of thousands every few months 90% of whom are illiterate in their own language never mind English and with no skills or education that would give them any hope of employment in a modern economy like Europe...therefore they are destined to become a burden on taxpayers for most of their lives. Your comparisons are not based on logic or likeness, therefore, they are logical fallacies and hold no weight in any discussion.

There was no welfare state in the USA when the first waves of Irish immigrants went there LEGALLY, the same applies to London and Australia....not that the UK can be considered foreign for the purpose of welfare or work when you consider your grandmother would be entitled to claim a British passport if she's alive (Ireland Act 1949)

As for your waffle about third level education, anybody who wants to get an education in this country can get it at any level if they have the ability.
 
I left school at 14 with no formal education, not even the junior cert, I was born and raised in Coolock when it was bad through the 80's and 90's, I went off the rails a bit due to my own ignorance and lack of direction from my parents who themselves had no education or direction, it's a repetitive cycle if you let it.

I managed to get myself into UCD to study business which is the highest ranked business school in Ireland this despite not having any formal education at all! I did 3 years passing every module but didn't finish the course because I'm more entrepreneurial in nature and realised that I'm not cut out for 30 years working in an office so please don't tell me there are any barriers to education these days in Ireland because there aren't and I'm proof of it.

We are all where we are in life as a direct consequence of our own actions, nobody owes anyone a damn thing in this life, the state doesn't owe you anything, the taxpayers don't owe you anything nor do your friends or family, it all comes down to you! The good news is that taking action can also give you whatever you want, if you know what you want and take action most of the time you'll get it.

PS, most degrees these days are absolutely useless unless they are in the STEM fields, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths.
Liberal arts degrees are not worth a fuck and everyone knows it.

They are both visual re-tests Harry, but I think there is a lesser fee rather than no fee.

Considering that the average IQ in south east Asia is around 74 there's no way these guys are passing that knowledge test legitimately in those numbers.

Again, it should be a requirement to have Irish citizenship and pass through a metal detecting scanner before entering the test room. Also, the test room should have to be fitted with frequency blocking technology to avoid any outside communication with the test takers.

You obviously don't understand how the test is formated. There is no lineal or predictable question format, it is totally randomised and many of the questions are set in such a way that any two of the answers could be correct, I have no doubt this style of test was orchestrated as a barrier to entry so don't try to tell me Mumar from Punjab just rocked into Ireland on his English student visa and aced a test on the area knowledge of a city he barely knows, how fooking naive are you?

It's fairly obvious from the get go that you have a severe problem with basic comprehension but now you're just abusing the privilege of being dumb.

Nowhere in anything I write did I claim it was easy to pass, in fact I think I made it very clear that it's a very difficult exam therefore there's no way Umbutu, Mumar or Adil could pass it when they 1, can barely speak English, 2 are in Ireland on dodgy English student visa and 3, couldn't possibly know the city well enough to pass the test.

Take your head out of your arse and you might start grasping the reality of the situation.

To be fair, the test isn't rocket science. As MfH points out, all the answers are on the map and Dublin isn't a particularly big city. I guess the real issue is what can be done about Eastern European women marrying for money... and, to be fair to An Garda Siochana, they seem to be on top of it.

All "new" as defined in the quoted post i.e. associated with a plate for the first time. Most are renting and most are licensed for Dublin. You can use the database facility or TFIs Driver Check application to ascertain relevant data on a badge by badge basis.

Every Eastern European is taught that Tesla was the genius behind everything we are told was Edison and his cronies....Edison used to torture elephants on rail-tracks to prove "his" theories.

FFS does it matter who he is .This forum is for entertainment and if you need a bit of info we will try to help .Told Korky once the reason I post here is so we can talk to non existing people as its cyberspace we wouldnt recognize each other if we were standing in a lane taking a piss togeather but it stops us talking to the man in the mirror or muttering to ourselves .

That's about the most coherent thing you've ever said. So, to expand on that...you know who he is/they are..problem arises when someone else is getting fingered....as for not knowing anyone....why would you want to? The cliques are of old, John.....no need for Columbo...Clouseau will suffice. Timmy knew someone wasn't around to keep him in check.....I smell a big ball of faecal matter.

Intellect, intelligence and common sense can be very different things, I guess. Tim is clearly a highly intelligent man yet left the army without a pension or a SPSV licence and struggled to pass a test on his county of birth... everything is relative.,

Think the intention is to blame someone alright....stool pigeons inserted themselves earlier on...Rats has a total handle on ip's here...multiple people can post as one if that gobshite shares his password....

I don't actually pay any attention to IPs. I can only see them if logged on as Admin, something I rarely do - generally only to delete spam accounts or modify the very occasional post on foot of complaints. IP monitoring isn't very effective. Most of us have dynamic IPs hence all you have to do is switch your modem off and on again to change it and mobile networks generally report the same IP for every user. However, we don't have very many contributors and most of them know each other. I guess there will always be suspicion where contributions from lesser known contributors are concerned.

Unless they've started to give out L badges after M for some reason.

Just to clarify what our system can determine - badges are only recorded when associated with plates hence drivers may have held badges and not used them for a period or, Pope forbid, driven without complying with NTAs vehicle link registration requirements.

From the expiry dates of those in the small snippet most recently introduced to this discussion it's clear that all bar one of the L badges were issued last month while the M badge was issued in June. There may be some delay between the assignment of badge numbers and the issue of badges, perhaps relevant to the extent of Garda/GNIB enquires or such like?

I don't get why they went back to Ls after already starting on M.Should we get one of the smart lads like Timo to tell them what letter comes next?.Maybe their system can't handle anything after this alphabet has run its course so they decided to use up leftover numbers.

I found L9279 and he looks like one of us potato munchers.Mine is L3xxx and I got my licence 9 years ago.

Possible, BHT... but unlikely that they should all follow the same pattern at the same time i.e. hold a licence for 5/6 years without using it then renew it and use it almost immediately. I think I'll start publishing more comprehensive data from the start of next month in the interests of, perhaps, getting a clearer picture... and, maybe, helping our Social Welfare friends along the way!

That strategy was certainly employed when National plate numbers were introduced. Old plates were mixed in with plata nuas to make them indistinguishable.

It's still numeric then alphabetical.  Most de-reg drivers are JKLM, some f the Jekylls are older badge numbers whose licences lapsed or were banned.
On renewal, rhey were given an up to date letter.
The only vowels are A badges, and E badges.
I and O could be construed as numbers, therefore are and will be skipped.
U will probably never be reached as we'll have autonomous vehicles by then. 8)

Swings and roundabouts. In my experience some of his set fares are less than the meter, others are slightly more... particularly where the contract work is concerned. I guess it suits him.

Belker thanks for your advice,but im a great believer in NOT. Leaving paper trails for any reason.i don't do a lot of hours per week,but just enough to cover domostic bills food etc etc ,so I couldn't justify additional expense. Another reason I would not have one is,they were introduced to our industry by those bastard radio company's who seem to think they are the drivers employers ,and I will NOT allow my business be dictated to by terms these scumbags have brought in

No worries, if you change your mind then I have a CabApp CC reader going a begging fer you.

CC facilities are over-rated. Most punters will come up with cash at a push.

There is No fees until Dec 2019 with MyTaxi Sum-up reader, so I have my CC stickers
up in my cab, they will be coming down after Dec 2019 tho !

.....he gave me a nice job last year from Kerry airport going back to Cork,
the set was 120, the meter would have been about 150, I was happy with the 120....

Over 200KM and 3hours driving.
 €30 discount + fuel,
The old saying working for nothing.

That job that Roy offered me was a job that I really wanted to do,
it was an afternoon job to Kerry (possibly one of the most scenic drives in the world)
and I got the pleasure of meeting a retired US army colonel as my customer,
probably the most enthralling Non Bullshit man that I have ever met in my life.
Getting paid fer it was a bonus !

I dunno how you reckon 100 notes fer 3 hours work is "Working for nothing" ?

I guess it would have had greater appeal during the last recession. These days men would easily expect to average €30/hour takings with no effort/commitment, particularly at peak times. I guess any drive could "possibly" be the most scenic in the world. I covered jobs last night from housing schemes named Tulip, Snowdrop, Buttercup and Primrose. How could such descriptions depict anything other than idyllic tranquility...

Hello guys, im new over here, was looking to make a new post but was unable to.
I'm waiting for my psv licence for about 5 months, where have been asked to update my current driving licence so that shows the address on it.
Have to mention that im an EU citizen with Irish passport but an EU licence-that cannot be exchanged into Irish.
Been driving here about 10 years no problem, Rsa told me that i can drive as long as licence is valid and up to date, but if i wish an Irish one have to do the theory and driving test in full as a new driver, thing that i did in order to get it to the Gards.
Did got a 6 months exemption from Rsa to sit the driving test straight away after i got the learner to hand and have done 12 EDT in 2 weeks time, so in 2 months full Irish to hand from start to finish.
Just a month ago when i did got the full Irish to hand, did present it to the Carriage Office where have been told that in 2-3 weeks my PSV will be ready.
Yesterday did call them in to see if its ready or not, got shocked to find out that as i do have a new Irish licence have to wait 1 year from now on in order to get the PSV.
As i have been told that in few weeks will be ready did bought a new wav, did sort out insurance, grant and all papers done and now all my investments stuck!
Need some advice please of how/who do i have to get in touch with, as i do have 7 years Irish NCB, does this means nothing???
Thank you, hopefully didn't bother anybody if not the right place!

AFAIK, the one year rule applied/applies to recently qualified learner drivers. I`d ask to meet with sergeant and or inspector, bring your old EU licence and proof of insurance for the last 7 years. DO NOT get argumentative during the meeting but simply lay out what you have done up until now. As the NTA AND Carriage Office BOTH accepted your EU licence when you applied for the test, someone has made a decision that overruled the decision to accept your EU licence to sit the test.

Your EU licence was accepted by BOTH the NTA AND Garda when you applied to sit the test. Therefore, they acknowledged you weren`t a learner driver. IMHO, the 1 year requirement was nullified. If you want a different opinion, there`ll be one along shortly. I`ve given you my thoughts on how to resolve this, take it or don`t take it.

You must be fucking loaded to come here, live for almost 10 years, buy a taxi suitable for taxi, buy a license, kit out the taxi, do your theory test, 12 hours of lessons in 2 months.  If so, why the fuck would you want to drive a fucking taxi.

Firstly on the test day just have been made a copy of the EU licence that i had at the time and later while sending all the file to the garda station sll was ok.
The guys from my local station was very good to accept and check it as it was, they did their job spot on.
After 2 months from the carriage office have been sent a letter mentioning that i do have to update the licence so that shows the current address, as the picture above.
Was in person next day after i've got the letter, did check with the guy from reception and told him my story, ,and asked him about new Irish licence holders have to be 2 years with N plates on the car, will that not gonna be a problem? where his replay was: u do have driving experience already, showing up to my existing licence....Great!

I did'nd exchanged it few years ago when i was planing to, as have been told by the insurers that the EU rules apply to everybody, especially after january'13 when the new EU driving licence format did come in place.
And the RSA told me that i can drive as long as the licence is valid, so why should i bother?
And it was required 2 months after the test have been done, not before the test.
As on the NTA website u can check is written clearly that an Irish or EU one is required in order to get the PSV, so why the NTA does not change that to say that only an Irish licence is required for PSV.
When i did ask them why over there is written that both of them are ok but the gards are asking just Irish??
Their replay was that i have to deal myself with the gards-who doesnt follow the Nta rules.

How u can get another coutry's passport without being its citizen aswell?
Sorry-i did mention that im an EU citizen but have an Irish passport by meaning that i do hold dual citizenship.
So i do have 2 different passports, and now 2 different licences both EU standarts, as u said that i did try to avoid the penalty points before, now the Irish state and RSA did give me the freedom to do it the legal way-by your thinking.

If you move to a country you should expect to change everything to that country.
AFAIK, if you live here for more than a year you have to change your driving licence, happened my Sister-in-law. She had to do lessons and pass irish test.

I recall once a collegue/competitor saying that they seen a taxi with N plates on a taxi.

Certainly an odd situation and it whiff's of bullshite.

AFIK  learner drivers usually have to wait 6 months between passing the theory test, issue of learner permit and taking the test.
oops just saw his first post saying he got exemption

http://www.rsa.ie/en/RSA/Learner-Drivers/Driver-Training/Car-Training-EDT/The-Lessons/ (http://www.rsa.ie/en/RSA/Learner-Drivers/Driver-Training/Car-Training-EDT/The-Lessons/)

Also if you are from another EU country you are automatically entitled to exchange your licence for an Irish one. So there should be no issue unless your licence wasn't obtained in your home country but passed in a country that doesnt have an exchange agreement. If that is.the case you must exchange the non EU licence for an Irish one after living here for more than 1 year, if it is recognised or acceptable under an exchange agreement. Otherwise you have to start from scratch.and that usually takes a minimum of six months not 2 months.

http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel_and_recreation/motoring_1/driver_licensing/exchanging_foreign_driving_permit.html (http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel_and_recreation/motoring_1/driver_licensing/exchanging_foreign_driving_permit.html)

So maybe need to explain yourself better.

Also, if you dont have an EU liicence  insurance companies dont usually insure so how have you built your NCB.

Regardless.of above... In my opinion no one should get a SPSV unless they have a minimum 5 years driving experience on a full Irish licence.

He couldn’t type his reply to earlier questions because HE WAS AT WORK, no license to drive a taxi yet but has bought a WAV so is he going to be a double jobber or is he driving the taxi without a license

If they successfully claim asylum they won't be illegal for long.

I was up above in Dublin for a pint with some colleagues/competitors last night and one of them told me he brought an Afghan gentleman to the test centre last week. The Afghan told him it was his second visit to Ireland since his son married a Laois girl and he completed all of his Dublin taxi training at home in Afghanistan with Free Now who have offered him a bonus for passing the test which will cover most of his travel expenses.
