613. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that taxi drivers in Waterford city have to go to Kilkenny city in order to have their vehicles certified as an SPSV, that this is an additional cost on taxi drivers often resulting in the loss of a day's income and that any repairs have to happen in Kilkenny; his plans to rectify this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
