I propose to take Questions Nos. 1075 to 1078, inclusive, together.
The 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 Action 32 of the Review Report concerning the Smartphone App for driver verification and Action 40 concerning registering and updating the NTA IT system connecting SPSV vehicles and their authorised drivers.
I have forwarded your Questions to the NTA for direct reply. If you do not receive a response within ten working days please notify my private Office.
