Taxi driver ‘told deliver sock and envelope with €28k’

Taxi drivers are vulnerable to be used by criminals to deliver their ill-gotten gains, a court heard.

A man described as a ‘humble’ Louth taximan was asked to do a run to Limerick and collect two parcels.

On his arrival in Limerick, he discovered that an envelope and a sock he picked up from men at two filling stations contained almost €28,000 in cash.
