Rickshaw raid by Garda sees 19 vehicles under lock and key

The vast majority of rickshaws working in Cork City are currently under lock and key after 19 vehicles were seized by gardaí last Saturday.

Officers from the Roads Policing Unit in the city’s Anglesea St Station worked alongside officials from Revenue and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection on Saturday evening in what was the largest swoop on rickshaws outside of the capital.

Many of the vehicles were intercepted before they even reached the city centre on Saturday, with gardaí claiming that Cork City Council was aware of the operation and the gardaí’s view of rickshaws.
