Mine were out of date so I returned them .They are suspended so I am no longer a taxi driver so might claim dole .
And rightly so.
The internet would collapse in on itself without your posts!

I rang the useless Transport authority today, they told me I have to send them an email saying when i suspended my insurance and for how long it will be suspended. They said they will then contact me to ask for the tamper proof discs back and the vehicle cert. when i want to go back to work i have to contact them and a compliance officer will put the discs on, where? they cant say. useless morons.

Seems straightforward enough, T1990.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

until I need the tamper proof discs put on in a months time.

sending the discs back is stupid and shouldn't be a requirement at a time like this.

The law is the law... these are the regulations "we" wanted. You have no idea how easy or difficult it will be to get the stickers replaced... relax... it mightn't be as bad as you think.

Under the T&Cs of our PUP applications a lot of us have to apply for Jobseekers in the near future... Are you going for Benefit or Assistance - if there's a choice?

Benefit you have to hand up yur licence an assistance you keep working...is that the difference it ?

Theres no rules to say you need to remove your discs because the rules are irrelevant in a pandemic ....the rules dont exist because they are altered to suit in extraordinary circumstances..  like 2 meters an 2 km ...the rule book is rewritten
Ther is no reason to remove yur discs ....its absolutely stupid and creating work .....
I have declared myself not working and have altered my insurance private ...that's all I have to do and I took me name off the portal tingy cause it's a phone call away .
I declare it ...I dont have to explain it or defend it ....I'm telling them what I'm doing ....wat is the problem..

...wat do you tink is going to happen if you leave yur discs on ?
.....you'll get a knock on the door? A letter wit a harp on it to court? A fine ?
Nuttin is going to happen ...
I can’t believe why the nta, they aren’t so accomodating in a time like this.

Because they're cunts, even the insurance companies have said they wouldn't punish a driver for protecting themselves with a sneeze screen (thanks John M for the info) NTA "rules are rules" meanwhile the government are overruling them left right and centre

That's one difference but to get the full rate of benefit you have to have earned over €15,600 (after capital allowances) in 2018 and to get assistance you have to sit and pass a means test.

Probably no consequences unless you leave them on a car you're using for social, domestic and/or pleasure and have a crash and the insurance investigators spot invalid discs in a photo or something... or unless you piss a Garda off at a checkpoint - or aren't Irish by accident of birth - in which case your car could be confiscated and you could be charged with driving without insurance.

I'm giving some very serious consideration to the possibility of going back courting. Done it about 17 years ago when I left Eircom. I bought the transit van from Eircom at the time, and I really enjoyed it. It was all country runs cork sweet, Belfast, Clare, etc I loved it if I thought I could get that kind of work again I think I would go back
