Taxi union warns of ‘fisticuffs’ over illegal drivers

THE country’s biggest taxi union has warned that taxi drivers are about to start fighting in the ranks over the number of illegal drivers operating in Dublin.

Tommy Gorman of the National Taxi Drivers Union said: “Legal drivers are getting ready for fisticuffs and that’s when the real trouble will start.”

The issue is the number of drivers who are operating illegally in the capital and elsewhere in the country.
