Kildare is one of the 23 counties with less taxi licenses compared to pre-Covid levels.

The Midlands East Region excluding Dublin has been heavily impacted by taxi shortages in recent years, falling by 17.5%.

Kildare has seen a 22.8% decrease in taxi licences compared to 2019. 

Monaghan is the most affected county, with a 26.5% decrease in taxi licences. 

The Taxis for Ireland Coalition is calling on the NTA and the Government to take immediate action to address the shortage of taxis.
