All fares well yet again for taxi outing

SIX hundred taxi drivers gave up a day’s fares yesterday to take almost 2,000 children with special needs on a fun day out.

Organiser Tom Colgan said that it had never once rained on the Dublin Taxi Drivers’ Children’s Outing since it began 43 years ago and yesterday was no different.

“We know of taxi drivers that have got married on the day as they know it will not rain,” he said.
