That's according to local Fine Gael councillor Alan Johnston. Cllr Johnston said Monaghan was suffering from a severe lack of taxis and he believes it's resulting in people deciding to stay at home instead.

He says consumers and businesses deserve an innovative, functioning taxi sector that provides choice.
