Food delivery on motorbikes

There's a big 6 bed gaff on the new Cabra road filled with at least 30 Brazillians.Every few weeks I see new ones with suitcases and following Google maps trying to find it.I think some of them are operating them like hotels with loadsa bunk beds.

Another small one on Ardee street with ten or twelve in bunk beds.

How many have you in your centrally located,compact and bijou residence in the sought after suburb of Cabra?

[mercenary for hire]

You need commercial insurance to do deliveries in your private bike or car.It cost at least double so technically your not insured if ya don't have it.If one of them Deliveroo lads plough into yer taxi uninsured you're paying for it.

Not true. The claim would be apportioned between the under-insured and MIBI. In practice the most likely outcome would be full settlement from the under-insured's policy with a requirement for him to pay the premium difference under threat of prosecution for fraud or some such. Wherever possible, the insurance industry likes to assign a claim to a policyholder for future loading.

I wonder if , by any chance was it the roads policing unit ( traffic corps) that were operating the roadside checkpoint. If it were then why aren’t you praising the particular Garda unit for doing the job that they are supposed to do, it’s like the guy who gets caught at 80 in a50 zone , “ ah sure I was only a little bit over the limit, why aren’t you catching someone else for something and let me off”.
Trying to make a bit of a point that there’s different units in the Garda, so why do you complain when you see a particular unit doing the job their tasked to do.

There is little or no enforcement of the rules of the road. Only last week I was driving down O'Connell St at the maximum permissible speed of 30 kilos per hour and counted eight taxis speeding passed me. Traffic Gardai ought to direct their attention to making the roads safer by putting these illegals off the road instead of harassing young lads trying to earn an honest shilling.

Gardaí target nightlife figure they believe is directing rickshaw drug dealing scene http://jrnl.ie/4146209

Maybe they could put a few of these on the back of a tow truck!

... while taxi drivers' unions fight for licensing known drug dealers!

Same goes for open dealing of gear in the city center,anywhere near O'Connell St or the Quays the bogies are there all every day doing their thing in broad daylight but that's too awkward for them to deal with so the relentless pursuit of the motorist continues unabated.

Not just in the city centre. There seems to be a complete breakdown of law and order up above in Dublin. The main change I've noticed in my years driving a taxi in Dublin is how overt drug dealing has become. Those buying or selling make no attempt to conceal their trades these days. There are even well known unofficial markets in operation e.g. "the patch" in Darndale. Gardai are either in the pockets of the gansters at the top of the tree or look at detection/enforcement as a an exercise in futility.

You probably would be temporarily out of pocket with 3PF&T while the legal wrangling goes on.... but it could be worth your while in the longer term if you're unfortunate enough to suffer whiplash.

I was running a brass monkey around Ballymun in his futile search for drugs (swearing he'd pay me).
After several empty ventures, he got back in the car saying, "This place is supposed to be riddled with drug dealers, they couldn't push a pram"

On his next attempt, and with €17 bills on the clock, I waited for him to do one last search - and feeling I'd never get paid anyway, I did a Runner!!
Don't expect to hear from An Garda Siochana anytime soon!!
