The NTA is the industry regulator. We know that a particular rank in O'Connell Street might have particular problems relating to racism between taxi drivers. Certain taxi drivers are being excluded because of their perceived ethnicity, colour or nationality. Why is the attention of the authority not focused on O'Connell Street by having an officer present all the time to ensure this is not happening? If it is seen to be happening, if a particular taxi driver or group of them are excluding others, then they could be called in about it.
