I thank Mr. O'Leary. Returning to the Minister, the issue of scrambler motorbikes is a major concern in Limerick and everywhere else. What is the law regarding scramblers currently? What age do people have to be to operate them? Must they be registered? Is insurance required? This matter is raised repeatedly by the people on the ground who are affected by these scramblers in various areas. These motorbikes cause a great deal of distress to people. I welcome that this issue is being dealt with in the legislation, but what is the law now?
