777. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will address the anomaly in relation to the age of a taxi whereby a car being used as a taxi must be taken out of service at ten years of age despite it passing the NCT and despite the fact that the same car can then be designated as a limousine and trade commercially (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

​The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including issues pertaining to vehicle standards, 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.
