- On Monday 8 December, Taxi Drivers Ireland announced a six-day national shutdown protest in Dublin from Monday 8 December to Saturday 13 December.

- Organisers apologised to the public for the pending disruption and said `We do not want protests`, warning thousands of commuters and Christmas shoppers will be hit and disruption may intensify if the Government ignores them.
- Part of a wider campaign, backed by Taxi Drivers Ireland Cork Branch and Taxi Drivers Ireland Galway Branch, involving hundreds of drivers and following recent protests against Uber.
