Taxi drivers are looking for a €1 increase in fares to tackle rising fuel costs.

The price of a cab ride was due to rise in 2020 but the pandemic delayed the measure.

Spokesperson for the National Taxi Forum, Darren English, says the price of fuel has risen by more than 50%.

"We are asking for a simple €1 emergency surcharge that we can charge on the meter, it doesn't have to be calibarated or resealed, it can be put down as one of the extras, as a stop gap between now and the end of that fare review."
