Jack we all know about these stories,we have all heard them.but I assure you the one about the licences are true,as far as I know,its e en dodocumented

NN drivers in Drogheda were indeed given Dublin licences as they claimed they were being abused  and being walked past on ranks...i did see the walk past bit myself one night as i was talking to a local driver i know who was sitting about 6th on Peter St rank.....first five lads were of African heritage and pax walked up to said local driver and off he went.

They weren’t being abused though, just ignored. 
BIG DIFFERENCE

[Shallowhal]

Ignored just doesn't sound dramatic or traumatic enough!!

if some a$$hole did that and picked me as an Irish driver even though im way back in the queue, i would tell them to get lost.

Even if they said they were going down the country??

Kathleen told people it was their choice which taxi they choose....that's a fact!!

[taxi1990]

yes, i cant stand racists. no doubt you would be listening to them ranting about foreign people the whole way there.

[taxi1990]

maybe Kathleen is a racist as well?

[Shallowhal]

yes, i cant stand racists. no doubt you would be listening to them ranting about foreign people the whole way there.

...and that's just the driver!!

Well I would gladly take the fare .in fscet on the odd occasion I ever got a taxi myself,I made sure it was an irish driver.I make no apologies for supporting my own

As one previous poster on Roy’s forum said
“First up the steps with the 6.5k”
Just as well ye didnt pay a 100k

Vikkiz regardless of which way around it was,the fact remains that these people were awarded licences to operate in areas in which they had not done a test for.that is discrimination towards native irish drivers.in addition to that,when these people apply for a taxi licence,they are only vetted from the date of their arrival in this country,unlike irish drivers who are vetted from the date of their birth.another case of blatant discrimination against irish drivers

Refugees/asylum seekers can't work.  All those black taxi drivers you see are more than likely Irish citizens...just like you 

Other stories going around sur about NN giving HSE cheques to garages to buy taxis.

If you ascribe intelligence to our civil servants, it's quite a clever move.  All those foreigners are now self-employed and not entitled to the dole etc in the future.  They're not a burden (too much) on the State.  Apart from the cost of a few prams of course!

[Jack Meoff]

Well said Watty
