Taxi driver charged two Christmas shoppers €47 for €15 fare

Seamus Goslin, aged 70, from Balfe Rd, Walkinstown, pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court yesterday to breaching the Taxi Regulation Act after he triple-charged the passengers.
Stephen Ryan, a compliance officer with the National Transport Authority, told Judge John O’Neill that , last December, two customers had used the Hailo app to get a taxi from the city centre to Barrow St after they had been shopping at Smyths toy store.
