The protests were part of a campaign by taxi drivers to get the Government to ban fixed fares introduced by Uber. In choosing how to progress their grievance, the Taxi Drivers Ireland group opted against industrial action or a strike which would have primarily impacted their customers. If the planned protests had proceeded, it would have been interesting to see how they were policed. There is a lack of unanimity among taxi drivers on the fixed fares. Knowing this, the Taxi Drivers Ireland group is asking the Government to close this option.
