Stephen Weir Institute of Public Administration, Dublin, Ireland Abstract This paper analyses the decision-making processes behind the reform of a policy that had caused significant controversy for over a decade. At 8 p.m. on 21 November 2000 the Minister of State for the Environment, Bobby Molloy, TD, signed S.I. No. 367/2000 – Road Traffic (Public Service Vehicles) (Amendment) (No. 3) into law. This statutory instrument provided ‘for the full resumption of taxi licensing’ and ‘the revocation of regulatory provisions involving quantitative restrictions on the licensing of taxis and hackneys’. With the stroke of a pen, Molloy had effectively ended the taxi licensees’ de facto 21-year control of public service vehicle licensing policy. The paper finds Molloy’s decision to have been a significant policy improvement as it brought about a substantially better taxi service. In addition, the paper shows that even with strong evidence of policy failure, its reform can take a considerable time. With regard to the four-factor framework of institutions, ideology, interests and irrationality, I find that the institutions of the state, while initially facilitating the regulatory capture of the policy by the taxi sector, eventually ensured that this was broken down due to the electoral system and the separation of powers. Up until the reform decision, the interests of the taxi licensees and their political supporters eclipsed the common good.

    editorial CENTRE FOR PUBLIC INQUIRY Fiosrú An Phobail Dublin November 2005 The second report of the Centre for Public Inquiry concerns the Corrib gas project and the associated pipeline and processing plant proposed for the Erris peninsula in north west County Mayo. The jailing of five men from Ros Dumhach in the county Mayo Gaeltacht during the summer of 2005 has focused national attention on the proposal to run a gas pipeline from the sea bed 80 kilometres offshore to a gas processing plant at Ballinaboy Bridge.
