The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of the taxi industry under the Taxi Regulation Act, 2003, and is also the lead agency with responsibility for implementation of the recommendations of the Taxi Regulation Review Report. I understand from the NTA that work is progressing on all 46 Actions proposed and ten of the actions have been implemented to date. 

The timetable for implementation of the remaining actions is set out in the Review Report and updates regarding the implementation of the Actions can be obtained under the taxi section on the NTA website.
