They're mutually exclusive options in the poll. However, there isn't too many taxis at the moment but come the next recession (and it will come) there will be. As a part-timer I don't agree that it should be a trade for full-timers only. I'm guessing the only way you could force men to work full-time would be to tax them on full-time earnings regardless of whether they work the hours required or not i.e. assume that they earn c.€50,000 with an income tax/PRSI/USC liability of c.€10,000... now, obviously you can't tax men on notional income so, logically, that figure should be used to set the annual licence fee. As a part-timer I wouldn't pay €10,000/year for my licence... I'd either retire or go full time.
