571. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Transport the authoritative record when the app truncations and taximeter contain different amount when the customer has been offered a fixed price for the journey; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63505/26]

572. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Transport if an app dispatch operator is expected to show the driver the exact final taxi fare charged to the passenger; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63504/26]

573. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Transport his views on concerns raised by taxi drivers in adhering to SPSV regulations around taximeter receipts given concerns that have been raised (details supplied); if these issues will be expressly addressed in the current review of dispatch operator regulation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63502/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 571, 572 and 573 together.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including regulations concerning the issuing of fare receipts and the ongoing review of dispatch operator licence regulations, is a matter for the independent transport regulator, the National Transport Authority (NTA), under the provisions of the Consolidated Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016. I have no role in the day-to-day operations of the SPSV sector.

Accordingly, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
