Taxi drivers defer planned boycott of Ryder Cup

TAXI drivers last night put on hold a plan to boycott the prestigious Ryder Cup golf tournament next month.

Executives of the three main unions decided to invite Taxi Regulator Ger Deering to address drivers on his controversial fares structure plan.

Members of the National Taxi Drivers Union (NTDU), SIPTU and the Irish Taxi Drivers Federation voted a week ago to boycott the showcase golf tournament as part of their continuing dispute with Mr Deering.
