The three main unions representing taxi drivers have announced a nationwide 24-hour withdrawal of services by their members next week.
The stoppage will come into effect at 5am on Monday morning next, 17 July, and continue until 5am the following morning.
The unions say the action is being taken due to the failure of the Commissioner for Taxi Regulation to recognise the concerns of their members in an action plan for reform of the sector.
The announcement was made in newspaper advertisements today by the Irish Taxi Drivers Federation, the National Taxi Drivers Union and SIPTU.
They say such action will continue on an ongoing basis and will reach a peak in September.
