Uber boss lobbies Leo Varadkar and Simon Harris for rule changes ...

Uber has continued pushing the Government for regulation changes so it can expand in the Irish market, framing itself as a solution to the shortage of taxis and a way of protecting the night-time economy, new documents show.

The company tried to broker a meeting with then-taoiseach Leo Varadkar at the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland earlier this year, before writing to Simon Harris during his first days in the job.
