The current Chairperson of the Taxi Advisory Committee was first appointed on 4th November 2003 and his current term ends on 31st July 2015. As with all members of the Advisory Committee, he is not paid a fee in that role.
He has given valuable service to the work of the Committee during the past 10 years at a time of immense change in the taxi industry. He has proved a very effective Chairperson during that time and both Minister Varadkar and I have every confidence in him in continuing in that role.
