Taxi Regulation Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage
12:00 pm
Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source
Taxi drivers need to know that regulation will not only deal with the issues of proper licensing, registration, passenger safety, fly by nights and so on but deal specifically with the issue of double jobbing. Something has to be done about that because it is seriously unfair. I hope the Minister of State takes the issue on board and that he will work with industry representatives to come up with a formulation that can deal with double jobbing. Given the legitimate issue he has raised about rural areas, I will leave it at that.
