From the photo in The Sunday World article, it looks like the taxi has daisies in the rear window?

Court date for ‘unregistered’ motorist posing as taxi driver in Dublin

Quote
A motorist is due in court after driving an unregistered taxi around Dublin.  Gardaí intercepted a black Toyota in the capital over the weekend as part of an operation with the National Transport Authority.  The Commercial Vehicle Unit were out on the roads checking the certifications of taxi drivers when they discovered that the driver was not only unregistered as a taxi driver, but they also weren’t registered to drive at all.

Sharing a photo of the car on social media, a spokesperson said: “Our Commercial Vehicle Unit were on an operation with our colleagues at the National Transport Authority yesterday checking the certifications of taxi drivers.  “This driver wasn't just unregistered as a taxi driver, they weren't registered to drive at all.  “Court will now follow.”

It certainly looks bogus.

I reckon the cab was legal, but it was the driver who was in it that didn't have a psv license or even a driving license.
