Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will allow for appeals to the rule that PSV licences lapse after one year and one day as many taxi drivers have legitimate reasons such as health, civil cases and other personal issues for not renewing a licence in a given year but want to return to taxi driving subsequently; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
