The Commission for Taxi Regulation is preparing proposals for the further development and the improved regulation of the sector taking account of the response to the public consultation on the economic review commissioned by it. I understand that the Commission expects to finalise these proposals in consultation with the Advisory Council during August.

I will consider the outcome of this process and the views of the Oireachtas Committee on Transport, the official representatives of the taxi industry, consumers and consumer interest groups insofar as they relate to my statutory responsibilities.
