A DUBLIN taxi driver has been described in court as lazy and unwilling to get wet after he refused to take writer and television producer Maia Dunphy and her toddler in his car because she had a buggy. However, Dublin District Court heard Fannin, from Cappagh Road, Finglas, Dublin 11 told her the buggy would not fit into the boot of his Toyota Avensis saloon. Mr Fannin told the NTA official “I was a disgrace and this was a joke”, the court was told. His barrister argued that a taxi driver can refuse to take a passenger if there was too much baggage or that it could damage the vehicle.
