• Those who get 500 penalty points on their driver’s licence will have their taxi permit suspended 
• Taxis must have ‘ample head space and leg room’, working air conditioning, trackers, and emergency buttons, which should be displayed well within reach of both passengers and drivers 
• Passengers found to have ‘soiled’ the interior of the taxi can be charged up to €50 (£37.60). 
• Drivers cannot apply for a taxi permit while serving a prison sentence
