View answer690. Deputy Marc MacSharry asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he has considered extending full or partial fee waivers to PSV licence applicants owing to the impacts of Covid-19 on PSV drivers. [13010/20]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 689 and 690 together.
The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including regulatory measures in response to the present COVID-19 pandemic, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.
Given the role of the NTA as regulator, I have referred your question to the Authority for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
