""We have played by the rules and we have protested peacefully. We have asked to be heard, but nothing has changed. So now the Irish taxi industry is going up a gear. "This is not a gesture. This is the full strength of the Irish taxi industry being brought to bear. We warned this would happen. Now it is happening.""
""We are acting in good faith. Pending the outcome of next week's meeting, we have suspended further protest action and hope meaningful progress will be made on the issues facing taxi drivers.""
""ignored, dismissed, and pushed to breaking point""
Taxi Drivers Ireland planned a six-day national shutdown from December 8 to 13 in response to Uber's new fixed rates. The proposed action included convoys from Mountjoy Square to Merrion Square at 7am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with vehicles remaining parked until 5pm, and coordinated protests at all Dublin Airport holding areas. The group said the Government failed to take meaningful action after four weeks of warnings, protests and direct appeals. All protest activity has been paused while engagement with An Garda Síochána and Government takes place. The suspension is temporary and contingent on the outcome of next week's meeting.
