CEO of the National Transport Authority says the driver shortage which is affecting the taxi industry is also impacting other modes of public transport

NTA Chief Executive Anne Graham said there are just over 3,000 inactive taxi licence holders and that as of the end of September, there were 19,145 active registered vehicles and 25,327 active registered drivers.

Speaking on RTÉ's This Week, she said:"We allowed vehicles licences to go inactive for a longer period of time, so they could become available once demand increased."
