SIPTU Taxi Drivers plan next protest at Dublin Airport for April 1st

Date Released: 24 Mar 2009

SIPTU will be holding its next protest in pursuit of the Taxi Drivers Rights Campaign at Dublin Airport from 7am until 11am on April 1st.

SIPTU Taxi Drivers voted by 98 per cent to support a Rights Campaign late last year. The main demands are:

  • A lack of an Appeals Process against decisions of the Taxi Regulator
  • The method for issuing licences and
  • The health and safety problems arising from double jobbing and a lax licensing system for drivers and the travelling public alike.


Branch Organiser Jerry Brennan said that the Goodbody report endorsing an average working week of 52 hours and falling incomes was “the last straw. Over the coming weeks we will embark on an appropriate series of protests to highlight the plight of our members.”
