507. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will review the current situation whereby a taxi cannot act as a taxi if the vehicle is older than 15 years, while no such rule exists for buses or other public services vehicles; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this causes huge financial hardship for taxi drivers who own safe and roadworthy vehicles as it is an unfair and discriminatory ruling which has driven full time taxi drivers out of their own taxis and into the unregulated rented market, or even worse, into unemployment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
