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.
