Taxi driver featured on Prime Time to sue RTÉ

A TAXI driver featured in a Prime Time Investigates on RTÉ intends to sue for defamation, following his successful legal challenge against a decision to suspend his PSV licences.

Last May, the National Transport Authority (NTA) suspended “with immediate effect” the 25 public service licences he held after the programme, which alleged he rented out cars that were unroadworthy to individuals who did not have licences, was aired.

Oluwaseyi Okerayi, of Fitzherbert Court, Slane Road, Navan, Co Meath, who denied any wrong-doing, brought a High Court action aimed at quashing the NTA’s decision to suspend his licences.
