I propose to take Questions Nos. 1254 to 1258, inclusive, and 1260 together.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of the taxi industry under the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009. I have referred your Questions to the NTA for direct reply. If you do not receive a reply within ten working days please contact my private office.
