Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion
Mr. Der Calnan:
I envisage that a driver will have to keep a log book containing all customers picked up with locations as well as a log of requests he or she had to refuse. The licence should be up for renewal every year to keep the driver keen. If a driver comes before us seeking a licence renewal, we will want to see the log book and may have complaints from the public to consider also. We might even find that the demand was such as to merit the awarding of a second licence for the same area. It has to be managed and the driver needs to be able to make a living.
