asked the Minister for Supplies if, in view of the increased petrol supplies now being allowed to hackney car owners, he will withdraw restrictions regarding attendance at race meetings, football matches, dances, etc.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Hackney Car Restrictions.
It is not proposed to withdraw the restrictions on the use of hackney vehicles for attendance at sports fixtures.
In the case of a function where they have no bus service and no train running, such as the one meeting in the year at Fairyhouse, would the Minister be prepared to lift the restriction?
The restrictions are of general application and apply to all sorts of sports meetings.
