New figures show that the number of taxi licences in operation has fallen in nearly every county across the country over the past five years.

In 23 of the 26 counties the number of licences is lower today than it was in 2019, with the national total down 3.5%.

Dublin saw an increase of just under 1%, in Limerick the numbers rose by almost 7% while in Kerry they were more than 3% higher. The Taxis for Ireland Coalition, which is made up of a number of companies and organisations representing firms, says the dramatic drop in available taxis raises concerns for the country's vital hospitality industry and everyday passengers, particularly tourists.
