Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 December 2025
64. Deputy Ann Graves asked the Minister for Transport to carry out a review of the dispatch operator licensing system; to introduce an amendment or regulation clearly prohibiting fares below the taximeter; and to introduce stronger rules ensuring fare parity, transparency, and protection of driver incomes. [67341/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including setting fares and licensing 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 the NTA for further information. Please advise my private office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
