Summary

Dessie Ellis asks whether the taxi regulation Bill will receive priority after a year without debate on the taxi review. The Tánaiste says it is already published and is expected in the Seanad in January before coming to the Dáil.

The taxi regulation Bill is due early in the new year. The taxi review report has been completed for a year and we have not had an opportunity to debate issues relating to the taxi industry.

Will the Bill be at the top of the agenda in the new year? Many issues attach to what is happening in the taxi industry at present.

The Bill has been published. The Minister of State, Deputy Alan Kelly, has been working on the issue for some time. I understand the Bill will be in the Seanad in the third week of January. We will have an opportunity to debate it in the Dail after that.
