Ermy ya live in Clondalkin.Why so concerned?

Simple merc if the country cousins can get rural hacks they might then rent out their licenced taxi to people with PSV driving licences to compete with me in the smoke .Cause and effect .

Yer not even using yer own cab for hire with all the mooching ya do around the Airport.You might as well be in a limo or driving a bus for Roy.

There's no such thing as a rural hackney, they are licensed as Local Area Hackneys.

I don't believe ya stick up yer toll bridge statements for the laugh...

good spot Rodent so what is the Minister refering to in this statement ...The measures being looked at include making breath tests available to individuals, offering designated drivers free soft drinks and making rural hackney licences more accessible.......Is he considering another type of hack licence ?

[Rat Catcher]

I doubt it. From what the dispatch firms are saying most of the individuals requiring help getting to and from bars are in the cities, Dublin in particular.

Rodent I  still have that docket to collect 3000 if there is a December election .This sounds like desperation from Ross to keep the FG alers on board ,IF Canny votes against this bill he is a junior minister so has to be sacked FF might go for a vote of no confidence in the government if one of its ministers goes rogue .

150/1 KEN It was overpriced

What's the facination with rideshare Ermy?It doesn't make any sense.Yer like the boy who cried wolf, remember that bollix?If anything ever happens we won't believe you because your looking for something isn't there.Very strange.

Coming from the taxi driver that pays 1300 in annual taxi insurance and covers only 16KM per year,
it does seem very strange !  "Cry Wolf !"

No, it was not, See post number 53.

Does anybody think this is a storm in a teacup .Spoke with the Rodent earlier and as he pointed out most drinkers take more drink than the new proposed limits so in reality how many drinkers will actually be effected by the new limits If this was really about drink driving then so few are effected by the lower limits as they would be over the existing limits anyway .Is this a smoke screen to allow Ross and the dep of trans amend the rural hack qualifications as the existing ones are too onerous and there has been limited take up and if that dosent encourage take up then introduce rideshare .Is this more about fixing the rural transport problem and not the rural drinking problem Why would the minister for health want to promote alcohol consumption by providing cheap transport to the pub .

[john m]

If free soft drinks are to be provided for designated drivers will the government have to introduce the free designated drivers bill 2017 to allow for the non payment of the sugar tax on the free minerals .
