Profiteering at the expense of drivers .PLAIN AND SIMPLE .

 Let's work together

Hi MFH,

As you know, the country is facing an unprecedented challenge with the onset of COVID-19. Due to the virus, people in Ireland are being asked to reduce social interactions as much as possible to protect our peers, particularly the vulnerable and elderly.

‌

The Healthcare workers are working tirelessly on the frontline to protect the people of Ireland and numerous businesses and the self-employed are working hard to keep Ireland moving.

‌

Many taxi drivers have contacted us asking how they can help with essential journeys. We've been thinking of different ways that we can help the community and connect our drivers with businesses who may be able to offer additional sources of earnings as taxi demand slows down.

‌

Now, we want to get your feedback on this topic and hopefully together we can truly make a difference.

‌

‌Please let us know your thoughts by completing our quick 1 minute survey below. 

 
Take our Survey"

I'll try to stick up some questions but they all lead towards discounts for HSE work.I think they'll be commission free.

No it must be for Dublin drivers who work in the epicenter of the Irish coronavirus outbreak.

They have in their holes !

I agree there are plenty of courier companies capable of covering this work at discounted rates.

I think the HSE are getting free parking for staff anyway as there is no visitors allowed.Matter hospital has more cases than anywhere else AFAIK.Last thing I want is their staff contaminating my car after a 48-hour shift.

There's one in the Mater...for Stoneybatter!!

“The delivery guy will ring the doorbell, step back and the customer collects the groceries from their doorstep. There is no person-to-person contact and the two-metre distance will be maintained at all times.”

Unless the taxi driver coughs on his hands / the food / packaging.  The virus can live on surfaces for a day or two...
