Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 March 2021
250. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Transport his plans to extend the ten-year rule for taxi drivers with vehicles registered in 2012 given the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16312/21]
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.
