Estimates for Public Services 2013: Message from Select Committee

Taxi Regulation Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed)
Question again proposed: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
An Leas-Cheann Comhairle: The next speaker is Deputy Halligan, whom I understand is sharing time with Deputy Pringle. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Deputy John Halligan: In essence, I welcome the Bill. In 2003, the taxi sector was deregulated. In terms of how this was done, it was an abject and total failure. I accept that at the time there were too few taxis in some areas, particularly Dublin. However, this was not relevant to other parts of the country, particularly rural areas. Under the new system anybody who wanted to could apply for a taxi licence. Most of those who applied for a licence were unemployed. The introduction of deregulation led to conflict between local authorities. For example, there were so many taxis in Waterford and in other areas the number of ranks available was insufficient. |
