Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

We will shortly be undertaking a review of our sectoral plan. There has been discussion on the progress made and on where we need to go over the next few years. We will be producing that document towards the end of this month. The issue will be discussed then.

I cannot give a timescale for the discussions with the taxi regulator, but I do not think there will be any undue delay. It is a matter that we should try to resolve as quickly as possible, so that we can introduce the scheme quickly.
