Dublin Taxi driver avoids jail term

Seamus Goslin, aged 70, from Balfe Road, Walkinstown, Dublin, pleaded guilty in November at Dublin District Court to breaching the Taxi Regulation Act after he charged the passengers €45 for the short trip.
Judge John O’Neill had adjourned the case until yesterday to see if the taxi-driver would give €250 to the Simon Community along with paying €800 in prosecution costs. After he was furnished with receipts he applied the Probation Act.
