Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages
11:55 am

I am not sure if it is appropriate to speak on the issue of enforcement now or to wait for the next group of amendments. Am I correct to say the Bill provides that an unauthorised person may inspect a vehicle but he or she is not entitled to stop it? Will the Minister of State consider introducing amendments at a later stage in this regard given that the Garda has enough to do without enforcing taxi regulations? We could give appropriate powers to authorised people and appoint more of them.
