Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Rural Transport Programme: Discussion with National Transport Authority

11:30 am

Mr. Gerry Murphy:

That is correct. We will enforce, and we advertised for a support company to help us to enforce because we have staff constraints. I anticipate that by October we will have appointed a company that can provide support officers who can work under the direction of our teams to enlarge the enforcement operations we do throughout the country. The Deputy mentioned knowledge tests. We have a separate issue and I must come back and explain the link. We will examine whether we are doing something in our knowledge testing that is causing a service problem, particularly in isolated rural areas. We will take it in the round along with the rural hackney licences.
