The Commission had been criticised for issuing more taxi licences than some drivers consider appropriate. Its commissioner has appeared before a joint committee of the Oireachtas (parliament) of Ireland to discuss the work of the Commission. The Commission was dissolved when Part 4 of the Public Transport Regulation Act 2009 came into force on 1 January 2011. Its functions have been transferred to the National Transport Authority. (en)
