View answer
You will appreciate that I, as Minister for Justice and Equality, have no role in the administration of small public service vehicle (SPSV) licences, which is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
However, to be of assistance, I have asked An Garda Síochána for the statistics you have requested. I will forward the information to you directly, as soon as it is received.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 227 of 5 March 2019 in which the Deputy asked for the number of public service vehicle (PSV) licences revoked in 2018 and to date in 2019, in tabular form.
The following table provides a breakdown provided by An Garda Síochána, on a regional and divisional basis, which shows the number of such licences that were revoked in 2018 and 2019 (as at 1 March).
