I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for these guys. The taxi plate became a commodity with huge value associated with it simply because the city only issued a small number of licences each year. There was always a chronic shortage of taxis in Dublin especially at night. This is all part of Ireland belatedly growing up.

@GuyAwoke

but they only issued a small number of licences because of a corrupt vote harvesting pact organized by Ivor Callely on behalf of his boss Bartholomew Ahern!

God remember the 90's and early 00's when you had to wait hours for a taxi, and then the guy might decide not to pick you up because he didnt want to go out that way.

@GuyAwoke Couldn't agree more. Check into how many TD's has an economic interest in keeping the number of plates down, and filling their pockets. The idea of a few hundred people controlling all the license plates in Dublin and beyond is ludicrious. Open it up, and the number of viable plates will settle where it settles, as the market determines. If you find that you can't make a living working as a taxi driver, do something else.

Yeah and the taxi guys were ripping the public off for fucking years and they enforced a restriction on the number of new licences issued to the extent taht you had to pay 90 grand to get a licence, they creamed it for years FUCK OFF taxi men.
