Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Impacting the Taxi Industry: Discussion
Mr. Jim Waldron:
The Chair asked a question on what will happen if the age rules are not extended. What will happen is that many of these drivers will put themselves into major financial debt from borrowing to stay working to provide for their families. To do that, they will have to work hours that they should not have to work. That is what will happen. Everybody will be put at risk. The families of the drivers and the passengers will put at risk. We need to address it.
