Any concessions made to the public, are not made by the Kearns,Kellys ,and Ebbs of this world,they are made by you,the drivers.these cunts are very generous,they offer discounts,remove PUC etc ON YOUR BEHALF.sometimes I just have to wonder about the sanity of taxi drivers.oh mister Kearns,I had my hand up ,please may I go to the toilet.

To be fair to Kelly, assuming you mean Anthony Kelly, any discounts were suggested by drivers at an open meeting. He wasn't a great fan of discounting at all to be honest. Also, he did give the discounts as the telephone clients used vouchers which he redeemed. However, clients were afforded free pick ups from the depot (not sure if that still applies) at the drivers' expense on foot of it being suggested by a driver who felt many clients were using the unofficial ranks to save the €2.00 instead of coming to the depot to hire a driver who wasn't breaking the law.

I guess it's also worth mentioning that Anthony paid all bribes to pubs, hotels, car hire return sheds, etc out of his takings. He didn't make drivers cough up extra on every job like mytaxi.

Why ?

Sorta like Terminator....they sent a taximan into the future to terminate Bobby Molloys mother but hadn't counted on Bertie protecting her but discovered the backhander instead....the rest is history.....or maybe it hasn't been written yet!!
Saw Bertie out walking on Griffith Ave last night with Anna Bogle.
I hear he's a peace envoy to Papua New Guinea now.
Headhunted apparently!

I doubt Anthony would endorse such behaviour, if you have a specific complaint you could give him a ring I guess. However, the firm does have specific parking arrangements with some clients e.g. Clayton Hotel, Clonshaugh Rd... in those cases I guess it's up to the hotel who they allow park/queue/ply on their property. Needless to say, the parking spaces aren't supplied free of charge.

This is old ground that was extensively exhausted in the past.your buddy John argues that Kelly is entitled to have drivers camped in hotel carparks,the rules governing the industry, in addition to Dublin city councils rules would suggest otherwise.it clearly states that taxis may only stand/ ply for hire at an officially appointed taxi rank.this was clarified a number of years ago by Eddie Fullerton when Kellys thugs tried to take over the car park of the then Vurlington hotel,in spite of the fact that an offical rank existed outside for many years

I have no buddies but Fullerton has no jurisdiction on private property. As far as I recall the Burlington terminated it's arrangement with C2K after protests from drivers working the rank outside the premises. They're not "Kelly's thugs"... as noted earlier I doubt Anthony would condone any intimidation or threatening behaviour. As suggested, you could discuss any specific incidents with him.
