Maybe, Ken... but he didn't ask why I was parked where I was parked which wasn't an official stand and isn't an established unofficial stand - yet! I guess he realised the futility of such an enquiry.

Bit heavy handed, in any event. Has the orangeman brought in a shoot to kill policy to deal with road tax / licence fee dodgers or what?

Assuming he hasn't got X-ray vision he didn't check my safety equipment either, Ken... nor did he notice / comment on my dashboard ID lying flat on the dash or the passenger information sticker on the sun visor being peeled to the extent of being illegible.

No donuts but I am Irish by accident of birth... anecdotal evidence suggests they are far more thorough with our immigrant colleagues/competitors.

Well I think the main difference is one treats you with dignity while the other thinks you work for him

Both control you. We're all someone's bitch.........knowing it is another matter altogether.

What im amazed at is how you could park on blundon drive ?there is only one entertainment spot there and I doubt that would have been open at the time you were there.I remember about 5 years ago one Saturday night driving down blundon drive .suddenly my whole windscreen shattered.it transpired a few little scumbags regularly hurl stones over the wall from one of the back gardens.I went to the coolock Garda station at the time,and a female Gardatold me this is a regular occorance from that place

A good friend of mine Trevor Williamson who was most likely my best friend at 8 years old and we got up to some serious mischief together at that young age, we parted company a few years later as my family moved house Circa 1973..
Years on (30) later in the Taxi game we met up again, his exuberant lifestyle as a Taxi driver was so unexplanable, he had a Wedding that put Princess Di in her place. He was going to College by night, working the Day shift as a Taxi, sinking pints all afternoon, and putting the Kids through Private school, his Misses did not work, All this was not adding up fer me !

Ken my mate is a C O with the Garda fraud squad.his job is to look at bank accounts that dont fit the job the person is doing.in circumstances where there is suspicion about a particular bank account,and the amount of money passing through it,he has to inform his  colleagues in the fraud squad,if he suspects anything.he told me seriously a huge amount of these accounts are taxi drivers,and most of them are foreigners

If you google that name, a taxi driver called Trevor Williamson was a very naughty boy back in 2012/2013.  Don't know if it's the same guy.

Where I parked - the lay-by behind the bus stop, at the church gate - is away from the gardens although I wouldn't have thought Slademore was that rough. Dunno why I first pulled in there, to be honest... just seemed like a good idea to have a rest and a read instead of suffering daytime traffic I think. However, I've used the spot a few times now and got away quickly enough on the app (Free Now) including a couple of decent enough jobs.

To be pedantic, there's two entertainment spots - the GAA club and the Community Centre... I think both use Free Now to summon taxis. I'm not sure if they're subject to hospitality surcharges on freight but I wouldn't accept a job from either (or any other bar/hotel/car hire return shed) from the app regardless.

Nice bit of detective work Watty, if it's the same guy. Would explain a lot
