The Taxi Regulation Act 2003 established the Commission for Taxi Regulation as an independent public body responsible for the development and maintenance of the regulatory framework for the control and operation, including licensing, of taxis, hackneys, limousines and their drivers. Under the 2003 Act the Commission may make regulations in relation to the licensing, ownership, control and operation of small public service vehicles. The issues raised in the Deputy's question relate to the day-to-day responsibilities and actions of the Commission.
