https://galwaybayfm.ie/galway-gardai-look-claims-taxi-insurance-fraud/Gardaí say they will look into claims that some taxi drivers in Galway could be using private insurance policies instead of commercial policies.
Councillor Frank Fahy, a taxi driver himself, told a meeting of the City Joint Policing Committee this week that he knows of cases where a taxi driver has taken out a commercial insurance policy.
He claims that after a month, they cancel the policy and take out a cheaper private policy, but still keep the commercial policy disc on the windscreen.
Councillor Fahy says Garda equipment can only tell if a vehicle is insured, but not what kind of policy it has.
