To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the assistance that will be provided to person (details supplied) regarding a previously booked suitability test for a new car bought due to the ten year rule on taxis; if a suitability test will be provided in such circumstances in order for persons to return to work and cease assistance payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) sector, including suitability tests for SPSVs, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.
Given the role of the NTA as regulator I have forwarded your correspondence to the Authority for consideration and direct reply as appropriate.
