Gardaí have charged a man in connection with the discovery of a bogus taxi in Dublin last night.

The car, which was stopped on Bride Street near the city centre at 10pm, had a fake taxi roof sign and stickers and was carrying a female passenger.

The driver had no driving licence or insurance, and was driving while disqualified.

The car was not taxed and did not have a valid NCT certificate.

A man will appear in Dublin District Court on the 30th of March in connection with the incident.
