Almost eight months have passed since we received the report of the taxi review group. The rules that have been introduced across the board in the taxi industry since then are affecting the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people.

Would you please put your question?

I refer, for example, to the rules relating to the national car test, the three-year rule that has to be observed by new people entering the industry, the nine-year rule and the rules relating to signage on cars.

What are you looking for, Deputy?

He is calling for a taxi.

I am asking when we will get a chance to debate this.

Would you ask your Whip?

Can the Taoiseach tell us when the taxi regulation Bill is due? Is there no way of fast-forwarding it?

The Joint Committee on Transport and Communications is dealing with it.

This delay is affecting the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people.

I am aware of that. It will be published in this session. Deputies will have plenty of opportunities to have comprehensive discussions on it.
