In commending the Bill to the House, I underline that this is historic legislation. It is the first time a taxi regulation Bill has been brought to the Oireachtas. It seeks to tidy up and advance professionalism in an industry that is an essential part of the transport infrastructure of the country. There is an urgent need to bring some order to the situation on the streets. Taxis are an essential part of the transport infrastructure and it is critical that we build a professional industry, in which people can make a living, in which – I see no conflict – the public can have total confidence and in which there is absolute ready availability.
