Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 October 2024
75. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Transport the estimated full-year cost to the Exchequer of extending the wheelchair-accessible vehicle taxi grant scheme to vehicles up to 8-, 10- and 12-years-old. [39875/24]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the administration of the wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) grant scheme and the keeping of relevant SPSV statistics, 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.
Given the NTA's responsibility in this matter, 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.
