Taxi drivers shrug off appeal to postpone protest

MOTORISTS have been warned to expect gridlock in Dublin today, with thousands of protesting taxis drivers set to bring traffic to a standstill on city roads.

The drivers have pledged to go ahead with their protest despite an appeal from a charity to postpone the protest.

The Irish Cancer Society said it was concerned the mass protests would effect the annual Daffodil Day collection, during which it hopes to raise €4.25 million for cancer services.
