Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 July 2018
481. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of wheelchair accessible taxis in each county; the number of wheelchair accessible taxis which have become available under the new WAV grant scheme; the number and value of all WAV grants provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31096/18]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the licensing of wheelchair accessible taxis, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013. It is the NTA which administers the wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) grant scheme for the SPSV sector.
Accordingly, I have referred your questions to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
