asked the Minister for Transport and Power the number of licences issued to nonstatutory road transport operators in each of the last five years.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Non-Statutory Road Transport Operators.
I assume the Deputy's question relates to both merchandise licences and passenger licences. The information requested is in the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
