A Dublin TD is calling on the government to intervene to help taxi drivers who are struggling to pay for rising fuel costs.
Fianna Fáil TD for Dublin South West John Lahart said that the rising cost of fuel has placed a 'substantial strain' on the industry.
Deputy Lahart said: "COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the lives of many people including those within the taxi industry. Everyone acknowledges that it will be some time before taxi drivers see their earnings return to pre-Covid levels.
