Victor

Title says it all - avoid Dublin City Centres unless on a bike or train.

I know, I've been listening to constant beeping for the last hour or to in my office.

These feckers giving me a headache.

We should build new canals so we dont have to utilise either taxi's or buses!

Babies throwing toys out of prams.

Seriously how many times are taxi drivers going to strike until they realise that they're living in a capitalist world?

Where is this going on, and how long is it expected to last?

Merrion Square, Dawson Street, Aungier Street seem to be getting the worst of it.

They're just lining up to get good spaces for the weekend.

I have lost any support I had for taxi drivers after yet another display of sheer contempt for the Dublin commuter.

The first time was annoying, the second time was irritating, this time was infuriating. Get off the streets and stop causing an absolute nuisance of yourselves.

Why are the Gardai standing by gawping as the taxi drivers bring the city to a standstill at rush hour? Make an example - arrest / fine a few of them and impound their cars.

This has got to stop. Taxi drivers cannot be allowed to hold the city to ransom yet again.
