Taxi Regulation Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The paper made specific reference to the limitations of the current specification relating to the licensing of wheelchair accessible taxis. The questions raised in it in respect of the specification for wheelchair accessible taxis are of fundamental importance to the consideration of the future policy relating to the type of services that can be delivered to people with disabilities. I share the concerns that have been expressed on this issue, not only in the debate in the Lower House but also in the Seanad in the past and by organisations that represent the interests of those who use wheelchairs.
