Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 May 2023
122. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport to provide in tabular form the number, per county, of local area hackney service licences issued to date; if he will provide a breakdown of the years in which these licences were issued; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25532/23]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the Local Area Hackney Scheme, is a matter for the independent transport regulator, the National Transport Authority (NTA), under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016. I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of the SPSV industry.
Accordingly, I have referred your questions to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
