'I was taking calls from across Connacht': Mayo's Leaving Cert taxi driver had a busy night

YESTERDAY, MAYO TAXI driver Joe Freeley followed through on his sound annual commitment to give Leaving Cert students free taxi rides on results night.
He has a bucket in the back of the cab where students can donate whatever they want to Pieta House – the centre for prevention of self-harm and suicide.
He told DailyEdge.ie this morning that last night saw a big change from previous years:
“The difference this year was that I was taking calls from across Connacht – but I have to confine myself to Ballyhaunis.”

He never left the town, staying close to his regulars:
It wasn’t the busiest night he has ever seen in the three years doing it, but the students were as willing to give as ever:
Another successful Leaving Cert results night then

As much as Joe is delighted with the way it went last night, he tells DailyEdge.ie how it could go further:
Onwards and upwards to next year.
Well played again, Joe.
