Its not a question of what way the NTA will go,its more a question of if the drivers have the balls to face down this challenge and block the streets,and the ports till its no longer an issue.I certainly am prepared for such action

Dont quite agree lippy,I believe the Irish taxi industry can offer a decent standard of living to people who would be committed to it.im fed up with people running it down ,saying things like ah its only a part time gig,and generally breakink the rules,and not treating the job with any degree of seriousness.for many people,this job offers a livelihood.but its a livelihood,which has to compete with being constantly ridiculed by other fellow drivers,the general public,etc .there is little or no level of professionalism displayed by some drivers,the authorities dont really seem to care about illegallity within the industry,the NTA are only interested in bringing in more drivers to an already over populated industry,illegal,ranks everywhere,no camaraderie among drivers,competing with illegal drivers on a daily/ nightly bases,I say MAKE THE AUTHORITIES CARE withold fees until they assist us in trying to make the industry professional

I'm not running it down, Dalyer.........it is a well-known fact that working class men and women do not and never did stick together. Ask any man or woman who tried to challenge the status quo within a union. Never personalise any of this, Dalyer. Group dynamics and role-playing are 2 different things. The only camaraderie I ever saw amongst folks was when they were gathered together on Hill 16 shouting abuse at a ref........they leave and they go their separate ways and laugh at the concept that they ever thought they were like the raving lunatic beside them in the first place.

So far there's been no challenge.Roys kip used to be full of these threads that went nowhere.Just posters saying they hate rideshare but don't care about hackneys taking their work.

There are posters who are just ignoring facts and putting up their own version of reality.Shite threads like this are more likely to misinform drivers than creating any unity.Nowhere has anyone else mentioned Rideshare.Just because Uber put their money in some TDs pocket doesn't bring it any closer to reality.

What I was saying is what would be in the Nta's best interest? Are they making more money from us than they would if licencing was "liberalised"

I know that. Roy's kip was a bit scatty at times, but it had many contributors.............not so many hurlers on the ditch..........guests everywhere here. You have to play the game, Dalyer.............let on.

Dunno how yis can get from a TD mentioning a service similar to Uber rideshare to rideshare actually happening in any form.Do yis realise how many shite ideas are spewed in the dail every day? Deliberate misinformation IMO.Dunno how yis get a kick out of watching taxi drivers fret over Rideshare when we have bigger fish fingers to fry.Reminds me of all the doom and gloom threads on Roys kip just as the business clearly was picking up.

When the crops start to grow in one field it's best to burn the one beside it to prepare the soil....my local Chinese take-away's motto. ;)

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
