Taxi drivers in Cork City are to stage a rolling protest on Monday amid complaints that they are the “forgotten frontline workers” since Covid-19 took hold earlier this year.

Backed by Cork Taxi Council (CTC), the protest will see drivers stage a slow-moving cavalcade from Mahon to the city centre to highlight the plight of the industry.
