Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 October 2023
55. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Transport if the National Transport Authority will consider a surrender grant for non-wheelchair taxi licence holders, so as to increase the overall supply of wheelchair taxis. [43181/23]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the administration of the wheelchair accessible vehicle grant scheme, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016. I have no role in the day-to-day operations of the SPSV industry.
Accordingly, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
