Mr. Gerry Murphy:

Like the members, we would be shocked at any occurrences of racism. The problem is one of control and enforcement. There are lots of anecdotal reports about it but we do not know the actual level of it. Second, we do not have a regulation to cover this matter or its like. It is generally covered by other legislation about equality of treatment, etc. We do not have a regulation which deals with the racist behaviour of a taxi driver and enables us to report it.
