230. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that taxi drivers are encountering problems getting plain glass into new EV cars (details supplied) which means they cannot licence the vehicle as the standard tint is not acceptable for a taxi suitability test; if there are plans to introduce a temporary measure or waiver to off-set this problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) sector, including vehicle standards for taxis, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.
I have, therefore, forwarded your correspondence to the Authority for consideration and direct reply. Please advise this office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
