suspect a lot of cheap plates will be for sale just before these rules come into effect, That will make it impossible for old guys to sell their legitimate plates.

Dear Mr. Moore.
l refer to the rcecnt consultation process lollowing the economic
review of the SPSV industry. The Commission is now reflecting on the
advice received from the Advisory Council and following the conclusion
of legal considerations, regulatory impact assessments and
administrative arrangements will publish details of new reforms later
this year. The reforms will cover a number of areas including vehicle
and driver licensing and enforcement.
One of the key concerns the industry raised during the consultation
process as part of the driver licensing process was the identiiication
of the county in which a taxi driver is licensed to ply or stand tor
hire, The Commission has already commenced research regarding the
options for the display of taxi roof signs to ascertain how the driver
area could be identified upon the roof sign. The practicalities and
subsequent costs in implementing such a change will be an
important consideration in this process.
Once this research has been completed the results of the various
options will be provided to both the Advisory Council and all industry
representative bodies to seek their views. The Commission is conscious
that this is a key concern to the industry and will be working closely
with them to put in place appropriate signage.
Another concern raised is the recording of information on the
application form for an SPSV driver licence. The Commission will
consider the criteria for drivers when taking over the administration
of driver licensing from An Garda Siochéna which we expect will
commence in consultation with the Gardai during 2010. Note the Taxi
Regulation Act 2003 rcquires amy change in the criteria for a driver
licence must first be in consultation with the Gardai and the Advisory
Council. The Commission will be putting proposals together to include
the recording of information on the application form i.e. details of
any full time employment, PPS no. etc.
With regard to enforcement the Commission continues to work with the
Department of Social and Family Affairs and Revenue Commissioners
regarding compliance. Details of the licence register are provided to
both departments. The Commission has increased its enforcement activity
with joint operations nationally with the Garda and
Revenue Commissioners. This joint activity will continue on an ongoing
basis. My office will be in touch with you to arrange a meeting once
the new reforms for the industry have been published.
Yours sincerely,
KATHLEEN DOYLE
COMMISSIONER FOR TAXI REGULATION

I think when you register you tick a box to receive email notification. Does it not show a link on the email if you don't want to receive notifications. There is no choice but to use ranks, but getting on them is the nightmare. floating around the city is a waste of time because of the numbers of taxis in Dublin. Every street has dozens of taxis. Chicago has a limited amount of taxis, nothing like Dublin. Throw your experience in Chicago out the window, this is dog eat dog.

Well guys I stick with what I said. but respect your opinions too. We went on strike a few years back with the Dublin unions, as soon as Dublin airport rowed back on its demands, the Dublin unions went back to work, but they told us down the country we were striking for more ranks. left us looking like idiots.
