Can''t see anything happening soon.  The middle-classes are worried about going on their holidays via the airport and the price of diesel for their SUV's.  The Govt and the NTA will be firefighting those issues for awhile.

There are plenty of taxis....just not 24hours a day on every single street in the city.The next downturn will sort out the demand problem.

Tight fcukers are looking for it alright. But apparently the majority of the Irish public don't want it, I'd say it's a lot of Irish peoples fear of foreigners that is the cause for that.

Will anything be done to solve the problem of restaurants, bars, and nightclubs closing at virtually the same time?

Thousands more cars, but half the road space. Will the people driving to work the next day agree with 10 thousand extra taxis plying for hire in front of them just to cover their rent?

We've bean talkin bout this for weeks ...I taut it was clear

How is ther a lack of taxis?

The only apes saying that  ther are a lack of taxis are apps that want to make more money and want as many taxis on the road as possible so they can have the upper hand
Taxi rental companies that want to increase demand for ther taxis so the can put up the price up and put more cars on the road
Passangers at  que at the airport who have to watch empty taxis leaving empty because off the DAA and ther greed and inefficiency
Piss heads and pukers who can't get a lift between 1-2 am fri-sat night which will always occur because of surge in  demand
And drivers don't want to deal with it anymore cause they learned  durin the chinese plaugue they can work 3 apps during the day and work the streets  and bring respectable sober polite customers to work an the airport all day long without getting abused or have to clean excretion off the Back  seat an deal wit runners
Then you have journalists who will promote the false narrative
Because it sells newspapers and Joe Duffy on €2000 a day to
Listing to morons who only see ther blinkered self serving world view because ther unable to put themselves in others shoes cause theve the IQ of a bleedin rocking horse  >:(

Garda clearance/vetting
Psv license
Etc etc

I had to Google the Grayson, I'd never heard of it. The Mayson I'd heard of, and we're actually having a night out there soon. So much shit is being thrown up after the Covid crisis that it's hard to keep up.
