Uber believed it could ‘get some political leverage’ to push the Irish government to loosen taxi industry rules to allow its business model operate in Ireland by establishing a service centre in Limerick, leaked files show. Here's the timeline of events

Andrew Byrne, Uber’s head of public policy for the UK and Ireland, tells colleagues that the company is considering opening a service centre in Ireland, outside Dublin, and wants “to use it to get some political leverage”. He believes Uber “can make a big splash” and asks colleagues for suggestions “on how we get maximum impact” with a view to getting its message across about the Irish regulations with taoiseach Enda Kenny and minister for transport Paschal Donohoe.
