                     An Innovative App Designed 
By Richard Commins
Introduction
Project Dash Project Dash (Driving All Students to Home) was 
designed through collaboration between NUI Galway students. 
Students can use taxis even without money, credit cards, or mobile. 
A significant number of students from universities, as well as taxi 
firms, have signed up to make use of the services since the program 
was implemented during the time that it was in Galway and Carlow.
Richard Commins, a final-year student of business information 
systems at NUI Galway who led the project's creation, was at UCC 
today to participate in the launch of the initiative.

About Richard Commins
Richard Commins, 23, from Claregalway, launched his brand new app that allows 
users to hail and pay for a taxi without a phone, bank card or cash on them. 'Flag' 
requires users to upload a photo ID and a personal code to their account which is then 
linked to their debit or credit card. The idea for Flag evolved from a similar student 
taxi app called Dash, which Richard developed while in his final year of Business 
Information Studies at NUI Galway. Richard Commins is now just one step away from 
landing the keys to a brand new taxed and insured Nissan to drive for a year having 
been named as one of 20 finalists put forward to the public voting stage of the 
competition. He was one of almost 1,000 people who applied to the innovative 
ambassador programme which helps people to follow their dream and to get ahead 
with the backing and support of Nissan.
