Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 March 2021
137. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Transport the number of illegal taxi operators detected in 2019 and 2020; the number of illegal operators detected in each county; the number of illegal operators prosecuted in each county in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11549/21]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the enforcement of regulations and penalties for non-compliance, 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 the Minister's private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
