I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of taxi drivers who appealed against a decision of the Garda Síochána not to renew or accept their applications for each of the past five years, the number of these appeals that were successful, the numbers that failed and the numbers pending are as set out in the following table.
2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | |
Appeals | 21 | 26 | 33 | 17 | 34 |
Successful Appeals | 10 | 10 | 13 | 7 | 14 |
Failed Appeals | 4 | 9 | 10 | 6 | 4 |
Pending | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
I am further informed that in many cases the taxi driver opts to withdraw the appeal.
