Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Discussion with Tiománaí Tacsaí na hÉireann
10:20 am
Deputy Seán Kenny:
I welcome the delegation. A new smartphone application will be released soon which will mean that any taxi customer can take the number of the taxi and key it into his or her mobile telephone to verify that the taxi is legitimate and licensed. That customer will also be able to view the driver's photograph. Does the delegation think that is a good idea?
