Road Traffic (Mobile Telephony) Bill 2006: Second Stage. (28 Mar 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: I support the Bill and compliment Deputy Olivia Mitchell on her effective use of Private Members' time. I urge the Minister to accept the Bill.

Taxi Regulations. (29 Mar 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: Furthermore, drivers who engage in the proposed skill development programme in other counties or cities will also be permitted to ply for hire in these areas.

Taxi Regulations. (29 Mar 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: From September, taxis will be freely and legally allowed to operate in busy and more lucrative areas, as they wish.

It will definitely lead to confusion and a decline in public confidence in the entire taxi service.
