Sir, - I see Aer Rianta is to go to court to allow hackney cabs to pick up fares at Dublin Airport. To every taximan the airport is Mecca. The arrivals ramp is their Croagh Patrick, the terminal building their Knock Shrine. Now throw last week's Garda declaration of "zero tolerance" of future taxi disruptions and the start of Operation Freeflow in the capital and you can see we are in for an interesting week! - Yours, etc.,
Mark Simpson, Drumcondra, Dublin 9.
