Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 March 2021
86. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Transport if he is considering extending the ten-year rule for taxi drivers given the impact of Covid-19 on the industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15571/21]
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.
