Limerick taxi drivers to stage protest in the city from 9am this Wednesday
HUNDREDS of cab drivers across Limerick will from nine o'clock this Wednesday, morning picket taxi ranks across the city.
They are angry about a number of things, including the issue of new taxi licences to part time drivers, a massive rise in the cost of getting a taxi plate, new rules stating taxis should be under nine years of age.
All of these things are, they say, causing a massive decline in their income. Up to 100 taxi drivers this Tuesday afternoon staged a demonstration in Pery Square where they decided on the action.
A further taxi drivers meeting will be held tomorrow night at 8pm in the Glentworth Hotel.
For the full story, and pictures from today's demonstration, see tomorrow's Limerick Leader.
