Brennan remains firm with Taxi drivers on seatbelt issue

Seamus Brennan has said there will be no compromise with taxi-drivers on the issue of seatbelts.

The Transport Minister has said from Thursday they will be compelled to belt-up for the greater good.

He has referred the idea of a waist-only belt proposed by taxi-drivers to the National Taxi Council.

He has said while he has no strong objection to it if it's practical, he feels they would be better off with an ordinary belt.
