Taxi drivers in Derry who were on the frontline during the Covid-19 pandemic and are now experiencing ‘poverty’ need immediate financial support.
That is the view of those representing the industry who addressed a Department for Infrastructure (DfI) committee meeting yesterday.
At Stormont the DfI and Department for the Economy (DfE) Ministers have apportioned blame to the other for failing to properly support the industry.
