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.
