I assume I will not get an answer on it but there needs to be consideration of it. People have already voiced that concern in respect of safety features of e-scooters. Some of this lies in the fact that we are dealing with something that is unregulated and unlicensed. Obviously, we welcome any level of regulation. Have the RSA officials looked into international best practice, what is working and what is not working? We are often given examples from parts of Britain where we have seen schemes in operation and parts of Germany and so on. What aspects of these systems would we be dealing with? Would we be allowing for a situation whereby local authorities would be able to operate e-scooter projects in same way as the DublinBikes scheme?
