That would not be wise or prudent. I fully support Deputy Catherine Murphy's suggestion that we adopt a multi-faceted approach and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (28 Nov 2018)

Robert Troy: Both meetings were very productive and I am glad that I attended both of them, but I have a concern. When I checked the committee schedule for the week on the website on the Sunday, there was no work scheduled to be done by this committee. I tend to make my arrangements a week in advance, especially as I have to commute from my constituency. We should know a week in advance if something is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Taxi Regulation (Amendment) (Rickshaw) Bill 2018: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to engage in this pre-legislative scrutiny and the fact that at long last a Bill is coming forward. That is not intended as criticism of the officials, and I know that for a long time the Minister was considering an outright ban of rickshaws. I welcome that he has rowed back on his opinion and he intends to regulate them instead. Rickshaws offer an alternative...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Taxi Regulation (Amendment) (Rickshaw) Bill 2018: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Robert Troy: Will the NTA publish the draft regulations that it intends to bring in at the same time that this Bill will be debated in the Dáil? This Bill is giving it the power to regulate so we cannot sign off on legislation to give the NTA full authority without knowing what the regulations are. To be fair, Ms Nic Lochlainn is not even able to say for definite today what exact regulations will...
