A Cork taxi driver who refuses to accept card payments has said he is fully prepared to go to court to fight for his right to remain cash only.
“I have written to the Central Bank of Ireland, the Consumer Protection Commission and the Department of Finance to inquire, What is the legal tender currency in Ireland and do I have to take care of this law?” he said. “It's a commercial decision if you want to take card or not – but if you don't want to take card or cash, you've got to display signage to let the customer know, which I've done in my taxi.
“I don't have one - I haven't had since 2010 - and to take a card payment, you need the bank account.”He said he has heard nothing over a year since refusing to pay his fixed charge penalty notice.“I'm prepared, I'm ready, I have all my stuff because, as I've explained, I sought the advice of the Department of Finance, the Central Bank - who govern all our finances - and the Consumer Protection Commission.
