View answer1496. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the National Transport Authority has the required permission from every taxi driver for the public display of information supplied on the Transport for Ireland online taxi application form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 1495 and 1496 together.
The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including vehicle signage and all licencing requirements, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.
I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if the Deputy does not receive a response within 10 working days.
