Chaos in Irish city centers due to number of Taxis and nobody in Authority wants to address it.

If you overcrowded a Nightclub the firm hand of the law would come down on you swiftly, but if your a Government saturating city centers with more taxis that it could possibly need, creating unsafe condition for drivers not to mention emergency vehicles, a blind eye is turned. In Waterford 16 city center rank spaces cater for more than 400 Taxis.  Constantly drivers are forced to take risks to get a rank space of face going home with no income. The response from  policing authorities you would imagine would be to address the overcrowding and submit their concerns to Government, But unfortunately this is Ireland the response here is to fine Taxi drivers and ignore the more serious issue of road safety.
