Passengers at Dublin Airport were left without taxi services for over two hours this morning during a protest by taxi drivers.
The action was taken after an inspection by members of the gardaí and the Commission for Taxi Regulation.
Tommy Gorman of the National Taxi Drivers Union said members were angry at the way the inspection was carried out but that his organisation had been calling for action to stop 'cloning' of taxi licences.
A spokesman for the Dublin Airport Authority said passengers were diverted to air coach and Dublin Bus services.
