Taxi driver as an occupation

    Hi there,
    I am a 57 year old currently unemployed male living in Dublin. Despite all the talk about “full employment” I am really finding it difficult finding work in any area, even unskilled work. I assume this is down to my age. I see companies like MyTaxi are launching a recruitment drive this year for taxi drivers, even offering financial incentives towards this.
    I just wonder has anyone here taken this incentive up, or are there any existing taxi drivers out there who can offer some insight? Can you really make a decent living as a taxi driver in Dublin? Can you really only make money on nights and at weekends? Mytaxi have a calculator on their website suggesting you can make €25 per hour gross. Is this realistic? Yes, I know you have to allow for expenses, insurance etc. Talking about insurance, it’s seems pretty expensive for someone starting out? Any responses would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you
