315. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Transport if he will allow the NTA to distinguish between a taxi and hackney in relation to rear windows being darkened; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38151/23]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including vehicle standards for SPSVs, is a matter for the independent transport regulator, the National Transport Authority (NTA), under the provisions of the Consolidated Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016.
I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of the SPSV industry and 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.
