Elected Lord Mayor of Dublin

Roy January 17th, 2010

Election to be held in June 2010
What, if any benefit could/should this be to Taxi drivers?
It is obviously an opportunity to once again show our displeasure of the governing parties.
What power will the newly elected Lord Mayor have over the Taxi industry?
Will the elected Lord Mayor have any influence over the Taxi Commission or the soon to be appointed NTA?
Who should we lobby to insist that the Lord mayor should be allowed influence the Dublin Taxi industry.
They say the Lord mayor will earn the same salary as a cabinet minister (€220,000) and will be the CEO of Dublin City………surely this must include some control over Transport policies?……probably one of the most important issues concerning the city.
I remember Ken Livingstone made Tranport his number one priority when he became Lord Mayor of London

    If the office of lord mayor has any real power then you can be sure they will issue a licence to opperate in dublin to raise capital.Gay Mitchell will probably be the FG candidate and he will run the city like a business if elected
