​The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013, including the granting of wheelchair accessible taxi/hackney licences and the administration of grant schemes for wheelchair accessible vehicles.  I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
