Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 January 2015
218. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of taxis that received funding from the wheelchair accessible vehicle grant run by the National Transport Authority in 2014; and his views of having another such scheme in 2015. [3140/15]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013, including responsibility for the promotion of access to and the availability and affordability of SPSVs by persons with disabilities.
I have therefore referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
