Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
306. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport the reason that the age for a person to receive a taxi licence (details supplied) is high compared to other professions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30363/22]
View answerIt appears from the question that the Deputy is referring to a licence for an individual person to drive a small public service vehicle (an SPSV). Under section 6 of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013, such licences are issued and renewed by An Garda Síochána, which comes within the area of responsibility of my colleague, the Minister for Justice, Ms. Helen McEntee.
