I had a 4.30am MyTaxi prebook in Ballincollig (satellite town 10km outside Cork) on Sat morning going to the airport, when I arrive in Ballincollig the Main street is closed off fer the Walk in to Light thing, I tell the steward of my job and show it to him on my phone.
He gets on the Walkie-Talkie to some one explaining my situation to them, then a Garda squad car arrives at the Stop off point and ask's me where I'm going ?, I tell him;"I've an airport pick-up at the Old Quarter", he sez; "Follow me" and puts on his flashing blues to wade through the sea of runners coming against us. As we are now a few minutes late on the job my customer is standing out on the street waiting fer me and slightly bemused to see his taxi driver arriving with a 'Blues Flashing' Garda escort.
