Dessie Ellis

Ceist:

688. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in view of the requirement that new small public service vehicles operating as taxis must be at most three years old when entering the market and must be retired after 14 years, the measures he will take to help encourage the provision of wheelchair friendly taxis which are very expensive to purchase and replace in this timescale.

The regulation of the taxi industry, including issues pertaining to vehicle age limit, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009.

I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
