Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 March 2021
210. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Transport if he will engage with the Taxi Regulator with regard to the requirement to ensure that vehicles for taxi purposes are under a certain age in view of the impact of Covid-19 on the business; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12543/21]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) sector, including age limits for vehicles, is a matter for the independent regulator, 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.
