Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 May 2013
238. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when he expects all taxi drivers to be on the online taxi register; the deadline that has been given to drivers to register; the implications, financial or otherwise, that will be incurred by drivers for failing to register with the National Transport Authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24949/13]
View answerThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of the taxi industry under the provisions of the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009 and is also the lead agency for implementation of the recommendations of the Taxi Regulation Review Report 2011, including the smartphone App for SPSV driver identification under Action 32 and the online systems to link SPSV drivers to SPSV vehicles under Action 40. I have forwarded your Question to the NTA for direct reply. If you do not receive a response within ten working days please notify my private office.
