338. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if any State contracts have been awarded to taxi companies since the formation of the Government; if so, if those awarded contracts fulfil the commitment in the programme for Government that a minimum of 10% of the fleet is wheelchair accessible; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has not awarded any contracts to taxi companies since the formation of this Government.  The Office of Government Procurement, which is a division of the Department, puts frameworks agreements in place for use by other public service bodies but does not award contracts on behalf of any other body and can therefore only comment on its own arrangements.
