I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of people who have been prosecuted each year from 2000 to 2005 for driving a small public service vehicle or taxi without the required licence is set out in the following table. A number of detections in 2005 will result in prosecutions in 2006. Statistics for 2006 are not yet available.

Year Numbers Prosecuted
2001 46
2002 99
2003 68
2004 63
2005* 27
* Statistics are provisional, operational and liable to change.
