Taxis in Dublin

The taxi service in Dublin has to be one of the worst in the world; it took nearly two hours to get a cab last night and involved having to pay over the odds for the privilege. Makes me glad I live in London as I would hate to go out for another late night in Dublin and I warn you the taxi service here is pretty appalling and is not recommended. The night bus service is also pretty poor. Much as I like Dublin as a city, unless you are staying in the centre you are in for a long night if you have any distance to travel and need to get a taxi.
