658. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will consider a change in regulations which allowed for the suspension of a taxi driver licence in special circumstances including ill health or caring for an ill relative rather than having it lapse once the renewal date has passed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including issues pertaining to Licences, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.

I have therefore 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.
