THE possibility of a large number of illegal taxis operating in Letterkenny has been the conclusion of a weekend investigation by the authorities.
The Taxi Regulator carried out spot checks on vehicles in the town on Saturday night.
It was noted that at midnight on Saturday there were just four taxis available for hire on at the rank on Main Street, while just one taxi was available for hire on the Ramelton Road.
It’s understood the checks were part of a pre-planned operation with inspectors reacting after several weeks of intelligence work.
We also understand that more spot checks will take place in the run-up to Christmas.
