202. Deputy James O'Connor asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide details regarding the use of private operators for school transport (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51042/22]
View answerIn relation to the requirement to have a Public Service Vehicle Licence in place for an application for a Road Passenger Transport Operator Licence, I have asked my officials in the Road Transport Operator Licensing Unit of the Department to liaise directly with the applicant in this case to clarify and progress the issue.
Regarding the insurance requirements for the Public Service Vehicle Licence, this is not a matter for the Department of Transport. The Public Service Vehicle Licence is issued by An Garda Síochána. It should, of course, be noted that any vehicle included in an application for a Road Passenger Transport Operator Licence must be appropriately insured.
