Mr. Jim Waldron:

To come back to what Mr. McGuinness mentioned earlier, it is very important that taxi drivers have a platform to present our ideas to try to be positive to the industry. I happened to listen in to a meeting of an Oireachtas committee at which the NTA stated it was in touch with the industry all the time. I have to say I send emails to the NTA and I get replies to them. I do not have a problem with this. Those emails are to raise individual items. I want to sit down in a room to discuss policy and not individual items. That is why we are here today. There should be a forum for taxi drivers to sit with the decision-makers to discuss where the industry is going.

There is the likes of Uber and all these other things.
