Minister for Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 238 and 241 together.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the collection and publication of statistics relating to SPSV licensing, 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.

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.

The referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
