Taxis give up work for special VIP fares

FIVE hundred taxi drivers yesterday gave up a day’s fares to take almost 1,000 children with special needs on a fun day out.

Organiser, Tom Colgan, said that in 42 years it has never once rained on the Dublin Taxi Drivers Children’s Day Out.

At least 20 weddings have been held on the same day as the event because the weather is bound to be fine, he said.
