Taxi drivers to protest on Tuesday

Taxi drivers are holding a protest next Tuesday, 20 January, over changes to fares.

They are protesting the decision by the National Transport Authority to introduce a new fare structure, which they claim will mean losses of 32 cent per kilometre for journeys over 30 kilometres long, during the day.

They also say the reprogramming of meters will cost over €4m.

The full details of next Tuesday's protest have not yet been released, but it is supported by the Irish Taxi Drivers Federation and the National Private Hire and Taxi Association.
