Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach answered somewhat the question regarding quads and scramblers. Over the weekend, there was a massive increase in the number of these being used right across Dublin, including in my constituency. I ran into them several times myself. There are Government amendments to the Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021 that seek to tackle the sort of antisocial activity that is going on but it remains to be seen whether these amendments will be successful in dealing with this plague of antisocial activity. I support any measures that go some way towards tackling this issue. I urge the Taoiseach to move forward with this Bill as quickly as possible and not to delay. This issue has been going on for more than ten years. I have been dealing with it in this Dáil for at least ten years and we are still not there. We are almost there. Let us get there and see if this will work.
