Questions (747)

Brian Walsh

Question:

747. Deputy Brian Walsh asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on introducing an exemption to small public service vehicle branding requirements in respect of limousines, operators of which contend that decals diminish the prestige of the service they provide and therefore affect its marketability. [9514/14]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including matters relating to limousine services, is the responsibility of the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009.

I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please notify my private office if you do not get a reply within 10 working days.
