Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Personal Powered Transportation: Discussion
Mr. Ray O'Leary:
First, we must clearly distinguish between public roads and public places. One could be in a public place without being on a public road. Anywhere that the public has more or less free access to by right, or by permission, is a public place. That puts an onus on some campus environments in the Irish legal context. The Chairman made a good point. That is why the Minister made a statement at the time of the RSA consultation to remind people that the use of these devices was not legal, notwithstanding what those who were trying to sell them were saying.
