I propose to take Questions Nos. 206 to 208, inclusive, together.
The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including issues relating to the setting of the maximum fare for SPSV services and the regulation of dispatch operators, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the Taxi Regulation Act 2003.
I should add however that I do not envisage introducing legislation relating to the commercial arrangements that apply between dispatch operators and taxi drivers in areas such as price discounting below the maximum fare. However I will refer the Deputy's question to the NTA for any further information on the matters raised.
