Mr. Philip Egan:

We have the solution to the problem. My father is 89 years of age and he is retired from taxi work. He was a taxi driver for 55 years. He has to die in order for that licence to be transferred. It is totally illogical. That is a licence that is there and Mr. Cooley’s father is in the same position. There are many solutions and we have approached the NTA over the past number of years. Because it pushed the dust under the carpet, it is now up against a wall and the situation is insanity. If Deputy Lowry or the Chairman were in the back my taxi and if I told them what was going on, they would think that I was smoking some kind of crack.
