asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the number of licences issued to non-statutory road passenger transport operators in 1938, 1948 and 1957, and the areas covered by the licences.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Transport Operators' Licences.
The number of passenger licences held by non-statutory operators and current on 31st December in each of the years in question are as follows:—
|
1938 |
108 |
|
1948 |
100 |
|
1957 |
115 |
Full particulars of the operators' licences and routes as at 31st December, 1957, can be extracted from the register kept in my Department. The list would, I think, be too long and detailed for circulation with the Official Report but I shall be happy to send it to the Deputy as soon as it can be compiled. Similar detailed lists for 1938 and 1948 could not be compiled without very considerable research.
