The issuing of Small Public Service Vehicle (SPSV) permits at Shannon Airport falls within the responsibilities of the Dublin and Shannon Airport Authorities and I have no function in the matter.

However, I understand from the DAA, that following a call for applications a number of new permits were recently issued. It is understood that these will shortly commence service.
