Taxi drivers stage 'last resort' protest against rising motor insurance
Dozens of taxis have staged a protest in Dublin over the rising cost of motor insurance.
They beeped their horns while driving through the city centre to draw attention to their demonstration.
Taxi drivers say their protest in Dublin earlier was a 'last resort'.
Taxis drove through the city centre blaring their horns to draw attention to the rising cost of motor insurance.
Dave McGuinness, the Chairperson of Tiomanai Tacsai na hÉireann - a voluntary group representing full-time taxi drivers, said he is hopeful today's demonstration will help:
Mr McGuinness said "Protesting does actually work in this country, look at the result of the Dublin Bus strike and the Luas strike, their protests worked.
"This is a last resort for taxi drivers, taxi drivers don't want to be protesting, they want to be out working."
