MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, January 16, 2012

QUESTION NO. 22

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

To ask the Manager if he will make a report identifying the locations in the County where official/designated Taxi Ranks (ie approved by the Council) are provided?

REPLY:

There are no officially designated taxi stands (taxi ranks) in the County. There are a number of official / semi-official locations where taxis are encouraged to ply for trade or where taxis have traditionally gathered to ply for trade and which have become accepted.

Arising from discussions held during the consultation phase on the Pay and Display Parking Bye Laws, a number of locations in the County have been identified where consideration is being given to recommending the formal designation of a taxi stand. It has been proposed that this designation will only be made in conjunction with the adoption of appropriate bye laws regulating the control and operation of these designated taxi stands. A comprehensive consultation phase is envisaged in conjunction with the overall designation process.
