Sir, - Finally, the Government has stood up to the powerful intimidation of the taxi lobby. What in heaven's name was Mr David Quigley's father thinking of (November 23rd) when he mortgaged his home to pay £80,000 for a taxi licence? This item alone clearly demonstrates how out-of-control the industry had become. It's now up to the Garda to stop any further intimidation of the public by the industry's bully element. - Yours, etc.,
Desmond Daly, Port Richey, Florida, USA.
