Taxi Regulation Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The Government, through the Bill and the ongoing operations of the commission and the Garda, is determined to ensure that the potential for any person who would be a danger to the public to obtain a licence will be addressed. Section 36 provides for the application of a series of automatic disqualifications from obtaining a licence or operating in this service industry. Thus, current and prospective small public service vehicle drivers and operators will be in no doubt that in the future the provision of taxi, hackney and limousine services will be reserved for only those who can generate the appropriate level of trust from the travelling public.
