GOING OUT IN Cork this evening? The popular Hailo taxi app has just gone live there, allowing Corkonians to hail taxis from their smartphone.
The Leeside launch comes one year after it went live in Dublin – since then, Dubliners have taken over 1.3 million trips called from the app. The app allows a user to hail a taxi to a particular address, pay for the trip by cash or card and see the identity and licence number of their driver before they arrive. Likewise, drivers can see the profile of the customer calling them and either party can send a report should they have a difficult experience during the trip. Customers don’t pay a callout fee, although driver pay a small percentage to Hailo on each trip.
First-time users of the Hailo app can get €10 off their first fare in Cork by downloading the iPhone or Android app, registering and adding a promotional code – CORK01 – to the account. you have to pay by card to redeem the voucher.
Galway and Limerick are due to be added to the Hailo app later this year.

RIP Tadhg. Sincere condolences to his family and friends
So sad …. Poor guy Rest in peace
So not fair, rip .
Why would anyone hit the dislike button on comments sympathising
@john was thinking the very same,I’m starting to believe it’s the journal doing all this red thumbing to stir things up . Because for the life of me I can’t understand why ppl would dislike a comment like r.i.p ?
Terry, this is absolutely not the case.
Hi Aoife Ii know it’s not and I do apologise ,I was just annoyed with the fact that there are ppl red thumbing someone writing r.i.p disgusting individuals !!!
Because they are a crowd of red-thumbing sh”ts, especially whenever religion is mentioned.
Rip Taidgh. You will be missed. Sleep well
Patrick I am asking u as a close friend of Taidhg’s, for the second time to remove ur comments and stop commenting before his Mother see’s them. Taidhg was a back seat passenger in a tragic accident. He had no intention of leaving us. I’m asking u compassionately to remove your comments and stop hurting us even more.
Pa Curran, question, is there several commentators on here with the same christian name, if so I apologise on my behalf if any offence has been committed .
Terribly sad. R.I.P.
Its an unfortunate consequence of technology that people can post comments on a public forum for the world to see, they are completely removed, both emotionally and physically from the situation, they are often commenting on something they know nothing about. Its fine to express ones point of view or opinions for some topics but for others it can be down right heartless & disrespectful. This Man was someones Son, someones Brother, someones friend. When commenting on posts like these put yourself in the families situation before you post.
Very sad. May he rest in peace.
Rip so young very sad, thoughts with his family and friends
Not necessarily so William. RIP Taidgh .
Not necessarily so ,RIP Tadgh.
Very sad, heaven has gained a bass player, , :)
Niamh, terribly sorry for your loss.
Well done on having the strength to come on here and respond in such a dignified manner to such ignorance. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been seeing the awful things people will say, for what reason remains unknown.
When a young person dies in such tragic circumstances who was a friend, a son, a brother and clearly by your comment a much loved and respected individual it isn’t too much to ask that it might provoke a little more sympathy and mindfulness in people rather than being being so distasteful, rash and disrespectful.
Well said again.
His poor family . Sincere condolences. His mam sounds like a true angel donating his organs and thinking of others in this hard time.
have your say
