Officials from the Department of Transport are holding a meeting with protesting taxi drivers in Dublin.100 drivers have been demonstrating since yesterday morning over deteriorating working conditions in the industry.They had originally said they would continue to protest in Dublin's O Connell St until they were granted a meeting with Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey.

Earlier, a spokesperson for the Department of Transport said the Taxi Regulator is compiling a report with recommendations on the next steps for the industry. The move follows a recent public consultation.Traffic in the area is being affected badly. Right lanes are fully blocked both northbound and southbound on O'Connell St; one lane remains open in both directions.
Motorists are advised to avoid Dublin city centre and surrounding areas as there will be a number of diversions in place as a result of this dispute.
