Can you understand the apprehension of visitors to the town of not being able to avail a clearly signed "Taxi" ? Can anyone tell me of a similar sized town in Ireland where a taxi service does not exist?

First of all the town council never went ahead and developed a proper taxi rank probably due to the cost and space and secondly with the hackneys who act like taxis in Clonmel i.e queuing for business and allowing themselves to be open to business by just hailing them passing by why would anyone choose to get in a taxi with a sign on the roof when the hackneys cost a set five to six euro no matter where you go in town. Is there not? I thought there was some in the left hand corner as you headed out of the car park or is that just a clothes bank?

Clonmel has three fine wide streets in the centre of the town. Imagine a total stranger getting of a Bus or Train in Clonmel and wanting to go to Minella or Lisronagh it would be a lot more reassuring to see a cab with a Taxi sign on the roof. Just a clothes bank.

I can't understand how he hasn't had the car taken off him sooner, any normal person would have come under scrutiny by now.. In fact they prob would have had the car seized within a month of it appearing around the place, Georgey Boy is driving that Jag with nearly a year now.....
