Taxi Regulation Bill 2003: Second Stage.
As Fine Gael has pointed out before, certain measures are desirable at least, if not necessary. These include a minimum level of training and a basic knowledge of the geography of the relevant town or city, as well as effective background and character checks of licence applicants. I am aware there is the issue, too, relating to people released from prison under the terms of the Good Friday agreement and whether their background will be used against them. That is an issue I will be raising next week, when the Bill is being further debated.
