Fianna Fáil Transport Spokesperson Timmy Dooley has welcomed the publication of a Review of the Taxi Industry.
Deputy Dooley said: “This is a very comprehensive report that has been published today and I welcome it. There are a number of helpful recommendations and I look forward to the input from the taxi industry on them.
“There is no question that the landscape of the taxi industry has changed completely in recent years and drivers and their representatives have been raising the difficulties many drivers are facing in making a living.
“I look forward to engaging with representatives of the taxi industry on these issues and debating this report with Minister Kelly at the Transport Committee. In that regard I will be writing to the Committee Chairman Ciarán Lynch TD seeking to set aside time for a debate on the report with the Minister, representatives of taxi drivers and the Taxi Regulator.”
