The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including enforcement, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013. The NTA carries out enforcement activities nationally in conjunction with An Garda Síochána, whose members are also authorised persons for the purposes of the 2013 Act.
Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply to you. I ask that he advise my private office if he does not receive a response within 10 working days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
