• The very high level of calls and queries being made by SPSV operators currently are causing waiting times in excess of 30 minutes. Please email your query to taxis@nationaltransport.ie if at all possible. The response time is likely to be faster by email.

• We are advised that NCTS is also experiencing high call volumes and would ask all SPSV operators to ensure they use the priority SPSV NCT Booking Line – 01 413 5960 for appointments.

• Please only attempt to book an NCT or Suitability test at this time if you need to do so to return to work. Remember, late renewal fees are temporarily waived by NTA for direct COVID-19 causes at the current time.

• Due to a technical issue the Information Line (0761 064000) is experiencing intermittent issues receiving calls from the Three network. This is being investigated as a priority. If you are a Three customer and are having trouble accessing the Information Line you are advised to submit your query to taxis@nationaltransport.ie. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Phones are terrible Paddy Powers struggled to do nearly a million calls on Grand national day so you can see how a few hundred calls would block up the system .Doreen Coyle from the flats use to run a Dial a Tramp phone service She could talk dirty to about six different fellas while watching Coronation street or checking her Lotto or telly bingo numbers .They should get her in to give a training course .

Arse covering daily they wer ...but they shud ot taut about it a bit longer ...and changed the rule book like every other gov department

Not everyone sent them back I would suggest

The lad in the Suitability had a problem with my renewal .I returned the Daisies as requested .But nobody informed the inspectors so he had to ring HQ to verify I had returned the dasies as the LAW states he cannot issue daisies unless the old ones are returned to him at renewal .I said it was a Joke the Legislation says if you do not have taxi insurance it is an offence to display any taxi signage Roofie and Daisies are covered in the Legislation but Door stickers came after the legislation was written or as the Rodent commented some cars have a Dads taxi sticker in a Civilian motor is that taxi signage .

The NTA themselves,

Under Section 17 of the Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016, whenever a SPSV licence is suspended you must do the following immediately;

1:Remove the roof sign from your vehicle (Taxi/Wheelchair Accessible Taxi).
2:Remove NTA tamper proof discs from front and rear windows of your vehicle.
3:Within 21 days, return NTA tamper-proof discs AND the SPSV Licence Certificate to -


I received a mail on May 20th saying they received my daisies,i did notice in their mail yesterday that 2 and 3 from above have been removed,they didn't realise the future problems that would arise......insurance companies..as far as i'm aware.... weren't asking for certs and window discs to be returned and new ones issued when cover was reduced.

[dalymount]

Not only were insurance companies not asking for them to be removed,they told someone I know in no uncertain terms the would NOT be informing the NTA as to who reduced cover

I agree it was a stupid idea to ask drivers to do this. I reluctantly did it and then 5 days after sending them,I got a mail to say all drivers must return the discs and taxi driver licence. I phoned them up and the lovely lady said said "it doesnt matter about sending in the licence. I asked her was she sure and the next thing is she goes off and puts me on hold "to check".
She then comes back and tells me "if you feel more comfortable to send in the licence then you can,but its not necessary"!

Methinks they are making it up as they go along.

The summarised version is: They havnt a clue.

Braille stickers covering 40% of the rear window,.. enough said. Like Phil Hogan, that got Ger Deering promoted. Spending de peepels tax euros well.
