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

The regulation of the small public service vehicle industry, including the administration of the local area hackney licence, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act, 2013.

I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct response. If he does not receive a reply within 10 working days, he should please advise my private office.
