Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Accessibility in Planning and Delivery of Transport Projects: Discussion

Mr. Peter Walsh:

The issue of silent vehicles and all sorts of e-mobility scooters and the like is a matter of some concern to Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, but we have no role to play in regulating the manufacturer of these vehicles. In a recent request from the Department of Transport for an advice note on e-scooters and the like, we included a recommendation that separation from pedestrians would be desirable in terms of silent vehicles of that nature. Outside of that, I cannot usefully comment on this area. Does Ms O'Donnell have anything to add?
