Eamonn McCann says the authorities should leave cross-border taxi-drivers alone and concentrate on illegal dumpers he believes are trucking waste from Londonderry to Donegal under their noses.

He made the comment after the Sentinel reported how taxi-drivers, wedding car and limousine operators and bus firms in Londonderry are being asked to choose between making a living and breaking the law thanks to the border.

Environment Minister Mark H. Durkan recently acknowledged honest hard-working taxi-drivers are already being forced into de facto banditry just because they are based in a border town.
