PK is saying the rep is on after the ads (10.25am)...

This must be what it was like in the old days waiting for a radio cab to turn up  O:-)

FN just had an ad on... Co-incidence?

Kenny spoke more for the taxi man than Waldron did.

PK let Jim Waldron talk & didn't question him too much.  I thought JW did ok.  Usually the reps rant a lot and suggest stupid stuff but he was reasonably sensible today.  JW said more than 1,500 drivers turned up, maybe 2,000 or more.

We are being put in an impossible situation.  We're getting €250-350/week guaranteed by the Govt but if we sign off, we could get nothing on the streets and no way back onto 'the dole'.  If you've got family/bills to pay, why risk it?  I don't know how you'd do it but we should be able to dip our toe in the water and if it doesn't work out, go back on the PUP.  We're getting a big chop in the PUP next week, just ahead of a probable new surge in c19 cases in Dublin.  And the wet pubs are still shut.

Serious question. Anyone genuinely think it'll bring any sort of results?

Protests wont change this situation.When you identify and accept the problem...then you can clearly deal with it or evade it.Mass infections are upon us now and into the future.There will be more need for doctors and nurses and far less need for taxis..A lot of people will get stuck in the middle of the road ...with full beam headlights blinding them...Try to be proactive or sit and wait and hope............

Every industry is claiming to be left behind, the public have little sympathy for us,they've got their own problems.How the hell can you protest against a pandemic, bizzare stuff.Stay on the Covid scratcher as long as you can.It's hardly gonna get busier when more drivers get back on the road.

RTE are claiming that those protesting unions represent tens of thousands of drivers.There's not even tens of thousands of taxis in the country...certainly not Dublin.What a load of bollox.

The Reps are self serving fucktards .They want 2 more years on the cars .WHY if you havent got a car fuck off WHY try to save lads who wont invest .Free Licences WHY so part timers and renters can sit and wait .The only sensible suggestion was income subsidies .That should of been the ONLY issue every other industry is getting subsidised .But High Pissing Contests have no rules .

Here's a load of ambiguous shite from Heehaw Martin.
A 600m "winter initiative package"- with no info as to it is for,it won't be us anyway. Looks like the protest missed the boat.
Puppy will open to "new" entrants. No mention of old entrants.
