Sir, - We, the undersigned, are the only members of Dublin City Council who have consistently voted in favour of issuing 200 new taxi plates. Nine councillors who in March 1996 supported the issuing of 200 new licences, withdrew their support in May 1996. The motion was again defeated on December 3rd.
The taxi lobby is extremely strong and well organised and we therefore, urge long-suffering taxi-users to contact their local City Councillors other than those who have signed this letter urging them to vote in favour of more taxis. The names of your local councillors can be obtained from the Corporation (telephone 679 6111, ext. 2809) or from any Corporation library. Yours, etc.
City Hall, Dublin.
