Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Impacting the Taxi Industry: Discussion
Mr. Philip Egan:
Every other city has it. We are there to look after the public and get them there and back. The Senator was talking about Uber. We are vetted every five years. I have to renew my PSV licence every five years, so you do that four months before your licence is up. We are all vetted. If you are not then you cannot renew your licence. I do not want a free-for-all. I do not want a person going in to work on a Monday morning, driving into town, and you do not know who he or she is.
