Coronavirus: Face masks now mandatory in taxis in Ireland

Drivers and passengers will be required by the law to wear face coverings while travelling in taxis.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has signed a regulation that has made face coverings a legal requirement in a taxi, hackney or limousine.

Under the new law, taxi drivers will have the right to refuse service to someone not wearing one or curtail a journey if a passenger removes their face covering en route.

Drivers will have to wear a covering while transporting passengers but they don’t have to if the vehicle isn’t in use as a taxi or when they are alone.
