Taxi drivers are to stage a protest outside the Department of Transport in Dublin tomorrow as part of a continuing campaign to be allowed the right to appeal decisions by the taxi regulator.
A delegation from the Siptu taxi branch will also deliver a letter to the Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey asking him to implement an appeals' process to decisions made by the regulator.
The union has been seeking such a process since September 2006.
Earlier this week hundreds of taxi drivers staged demonstrations in at the Department of Transport and Dublin Airport and called for a moratorium on the number of licences being issued.
Taxi drivers claim that since deregulation in 2000 the number of taxis in Dublin alone has increased from about 2,000 to 25,000, making it impossible for the majority of them to earn a living.
