What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Taxi drivers in Navan are reporting that motorists are illegally parking on designated taxi ranks, severely impacting their livelihoods. Ciarán Phelan, a taxi operator, stated his business is badly affected, noting that the rank at the back of the Shopping Centre on Abbey Road is often treated like a public car park on Sundays. The issue began after the taxi rank was relocated to the back of the shopping centre.
