Taxi drivers to protest in Dublin today

Hundreds of taxi drivers are protesting in Dublin today. They are withdrawing services for three hours over the Government's failure to appoint a regulator for the industry within the promised time frame.

Transport Minister, Seamus Brennan, has announced the office of National Taxi regulator will be set up on a non-statutory basis next February. However, taxi drivers say it will still take months to get it up and running.
