I am conscious of the challenges facing the taxi industry and, indeed, all sectors of society in the current difficult economic circumstances. However as the deputy will be aware the Commission for Taxi Regulation is the independent public body responsible for taxi regulation under the Taxi Regulation Act 2003, which includes the day-to-day regulation of the taxi industry. In the circumstances I do not consider that a meeting with the Irish Taxi Council is appropriate or necessary.
