Students to get €25k in taxi vouchers

Students planning a night out were offered almost €25,000 in taxi vouchers yesterday as part of a “get home safe” campaign.

Drinkaware.ie and the taxi industry teamed up to target UCC students as part of the campaign.

“This is a really exciting time for students. And it can be easy to get caught up in the excitement and forget to plan ahead,” said Fionnuala Sheehan, the chief executive of drinkaware.ie. She urged students to pace their drinking and to download the Hailo app which will give them easy access to a taxi.
