I propose to take Questions Nos. 261, 262 and 264 to 266, inclusive, together.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the collection and publication of statistics regarding the SPSV sector, 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.

Accordingly, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
