Given your own experience with the CU and your obvious failure to prepare it's a bit rich taking the piss out of men who may be forced out of business because they're too old, ill, stubborn or whatever to get loans they've never needed before.
You mention they were forced out of the business. Hordes of new drivers are entering the taxi market from foreign climes. Almost all these drivers are new renters.

No one is "forced out of the business".

I don't pontificate, being an atheist. You seem to want to champion a cause no one cares about.

Writing long-winded missals to war-weary civil servants who swat them away with aplomb seems to tickle you.

Now, go to work.

Who's plates are they renting? Could it be men who can't or won't borrow money to pay twice what their last car cost on foot of nonsensical and inequitable rules?

There but for the grace of MFI...

You should have made your argument when the EV grant was first introduced. Trying to reverse a green policy will fall on deaf ears.

The Indian lad I spoke to yesterday was willing to jump into the market via the WAV route, alas it was oversubscribed within ten minutes of its launch.

His Mrs.is a staff nurse in Beaumont, so - like you and I  - he has a laying hen.

Have you offered financial advice to those you purport to advocate for?

I have no objection to EV grants - in fact I may well want one in due course - or green policies and I have no intention of purporting for or advising anyone. In fact, I'll make that perfectly clear in paragraph one, I'm merely expressing my own opinion as a driver who got no age extension on foot of the two years I lost to COVID '19 anall.

The opportunity to make my case only arose in my mind on foot of the Programme for Government advocating potential age extensions for cars first registered in 2015.... presumably on foot of effective lobbying on the part of a person or persons excluded from your definition of "everyone".

From being a begging letter away from bankruptcy to talking for everyone, the mind boggles!

Heard a bit of it on the wireless. At one point the commentator referred to English players as "the curry boys"... A bit racist for RTE?
