Ms Anne Graham:

That is a kind of hybrid between a local area hackney licence and the community licence, which is also a facility in the Act that would allow for a business if it is not charging for it. There is a derogation that can be given for a community licence. Again, we are struggling even to get subsidised community licences in place as well. We have made every effort we can, and we are not giving up on it.

We will find ways of delivering a service through rural Ireland, but a change in the legislation may be needed in order to be able to do that.
