In Clare, we have a very deep association regarding this issue through a man called Kieran O'Brien. He runs the Irish School of Excellence, which has run a pilot scheme with Bird. For me, this is about user safety and the safety of others. In fairness, all the groups here today have touched on that. The collaboration between the Irish School of Excellence, which is based in Ennis, and Bird about going into schools throughout Ireland to deliver a training programme for pupils within the school setting is a wonderful initiative.

Will the representative from Bird elaborate on that aspect? The representatives from the other companies might indicate if that is something they are considering. Equally, is this something that is done in other jurisdictions and that should be replicated here? Should a provision be inserted into the legislation to require people to have completed a mandatory training regime before they can get control of one of these e-scooters?
