The Project Dash (Driving All Students Home) 
was created in collaboration with NUI Galway 
students. It lets students take taxis, even if 
they have no money, credit card, or mobile. A 
large number of students from colleges as well 
as taxi companies have registered to use 
services since the program was first 
introduced at the time of Galway in Galway 
and Carlow.
About Us: The students simply inform their names and 
dash pins to the driver which permits the driver 
to verify their accounts on the driver’s app. The 
driver then utilizes the picture to confirm the 
fare prior to the app processing the payment 
when they arrive at the location. “It was 
amazing to receive the support and assistance 
from all the people within Cork,” Mr. 
Richard Commins said.
“We received a fantastic response from taxi 
companies and are thrilled to launch our idea in 
Ireland. Students in Cork will be able to utilize 
Dash here, and within the next few months, 
anywhere across the country,” he said
Cork Taxi Cooperative’s Colin O'Mara said: “We 
are extremely pleased to partner together with 
Richie along with Project Dash to ensure the 
students at UCC get home safely and in good 
hands.”
Despite having no money or programming 
expertise, Richard Commins’ creativity and the 
tools he employed to develop the app made it easy 
for him. He was able to develop an original, 
downloadable application and is already receiving 
downloads through the App Store. App Store.
