"The TD also said legislation may need to change to deal with the issue of insurance."
 Bollx if this happens every cnut on the road will become a "Uber"

"The insurance companies should be offering a reduction to people who do this."
 Bollx again , we are charged a lot more on our insurance premiums for carrying pax.

The axa are already in partnership wit uber around the world.....
Axa  will offer huge reductions for this as it will stop drunk boggers cnuts from crashing all over the bog... And will be the start of getting rid of the taxi industry which is full  of cnuts renting an not given a fk and driving like fuking lunatics

Doesn't affect anyone outside rural areas so far............30 yrs ago The Step Inn was in the middle of the country and HB was from the country also..........

The beginning of the end was yrs ago for rural taximen.............meters in Portlaoise and other big towns and forced to charge a fiver for a local run........do or die. The smart ones did and the others waited for death............Dublin is where it's at.

Repeat after me     ** LOCAL AREA HACKNEY **     

I think it's less than e100 each for the car and the driver to get licenced...  And then you can give up your Sat nights driving drunks up and down boreens for a fiver

More likely to be mytaxi rideshare than Uber.

Ah sur the taximen in Dublin are afraid of a bit of hard graft.
Can’t get past 20 hours a week.
Open it back up again.
Saloon plates for everyone in the audience.

[Rat Catcher]

I've done 30 hours the last couple of weeks.
