COULD ACTUALLY BE GOOD FOR THE TAXI TRADE .
I would think if it lasts long enough this government Eamo will introduce Road Democracy .For to long M50 users using just one section between Palmerstown and Blanchardstown pay all the tolls while the rest of the 50 remains toll Free .This is wrong and unfair .I have seen the plans and all the gantries are in place if you look there is a Gantry to carry cameras before and after every on and off ramp all along the 50 so pay per mile will be introduced on the 50 ,then extended to every motorway and National rout in the Country .Congestion charges will also be introduced for Dublin,Cork ,Limerick and Galway .The Greens all being Middle Class dont be surprised to see the Household charge changed and levied on an energy efficiency rating rather than a property valuation .
More tax on work .It was a Green idea to use three different bins for rubbish you have to do the work of seperating the stuff into the different bins. At first you only paid for the Black bin the Brown and Green were free to take away now you pay to have them all lifted .This is an example of a hidden green tax .The same will happen with road tolling different rates will be charged on different roads to control the flow of traffic .Will we be exempt ?I wouldnt think so I would suggest working vehicles that operate in the City will pay an annual fee .Could work out Ok for taxi drivers if its going to cost 5 or 8 euro a day to drive your private car into town increased parking charges to 10 euro an hour will put off private motorists .For those of you who dont think on street parking will be a tenner an hour it was introduced at 5p an hour now its about 3 euro which is about 45 times more expensive allowing for currency conversion .Eamo and the Greens might just turn out to be our best Mates .
