    No point calling on the day. A handful will be running but you'd want to be booking in advance and be prepared to pay an awful lot.

    There is an actual maximum national rate. Transport for Ireland offer a fare estimator based on this rate, which will depend on the speed of the journey; in heavy traffic it will take longer and cost more.

    If you have a look here, you will see that the actual maximum permitted fare for that journey is €6.80 to €9.80.

    €7? You got off lightly.

    Agree, always use Shevlins now myself. But they will be flat out.

    My sister in law rang Rock Cabs, and they told her they'll be working from 6pm onwards on Christmas Day.
