Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 December 2025
87. Deputy Grace Boland asked the Minister for Transport if he will consider introducing regulations to ensure fare transparency and parity across all dispatch operators, including app-based platforms; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [67413/25]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the setting of fares and regulation of dispatch operators, 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 have no role in the day-to-day operations of the SPSV sector.
Given the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have referred your question to them for further information. Please advise my private office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
