Questions (848)

Eugene Murphy

Question:

848. Deputy Eugene Murphy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason there are severe age limit restrictions on vehicles for use in the taxi sector, as opposed to the trucking or bus sector; the reason a 2007 E-class Mercedes Benz was considered not suitable as a taxi in June 2016 but could operate as a limousine in the same time period; the reason there are extra signage requirements on a taxi considering other SPSV vehicles carry no distinguishing markers; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

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

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