181. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the NTA is extending or will extend the 90-day time limit for getting a suitability test for taxi vehicles after passing a NCT while licence renewals are being extended and during Covid-19 emergency extension measures; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including matters relating to SPSV licence renewals and vehicle suitability tests, 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 referred your question to the Authority for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
