Obviously, we would like to see increased engagement. The taxi driver representatives had a serious difficulty in that they did not believe that the NTA, and the insurance companies, had done all that was necessary. We need to ensure that happens, and I would like it put on the agenda.

Another major concern they have is that there should be a stimulus programme specifically related to them. They even spoke about some sort of grant aid for people who may want to leave the industry. Have the officials spoken to their Government colleagues about that because we do not see that it relates to the current stimulus programme but to future programmes that will be decided during the budgetary process? That would need to be determined as soon as possible.
