Its morally wrong to rank in front of an official rank,when drivers on the offical rank are trying to play by the rules.an example would be,the city bar rank in Dame st,and scumbags parked yards away outside.  the old central bank

Agree fully DM, with the advancement of the online world of hailing taxis I don't ply for hire at ranks or illegally anymore.
If you go looking for work you will always find it.

Did you annoy the enforcement officer? As Jill Barry (2nd in command to that mean and nasty lady, Kathleen Doyle, at the time) told me, the enforcement officers don't generally reach straight for the ticket book. A little common sense goes a long way...
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Cop's did me on both occasions, and no I did not annoy them, I always pay homage in the hope of going free

Fair enough for the bus stop, they're for buses. Maybe Dunnes or someone else reported you as an obstruction on the other occasion. I'm not sure what the drivers' relationship with the Gardai is like up above in Dublin city but a local Garda wouldn't do you in Swords unless you took the piss. Traffic Corp just ask you to move, you'd have to tell them to fuck off to get a ticket. Anywaysanall, €40 isn't the end of the world.

To be fair, we had informal ranks up above in Dublin long before the black man came along, long before entry liberalisation in fact.

... but they don't take a common sense approach in facilitating informal ranking as is the case in Swords and elsewhere?
