292. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to outline what the requirements are for a tour guide operating a small public service vehicle to fully comply with all regulatory requirements; what enforcement is taken when regulation is not fully complied with; to outline how many enforcements have been taken in the last 5 years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including enforcement is a matter for the independent transport regulator, the National Transport Authority (NTA), under the provisions of the Consolidated Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016. I have no role in the day-to-day operations of the SPSV sector.

Given the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have referred your question to them for further information. Please advise my private office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
