Ms Jean Andrews:

I will have to agree with Ms Dunne on the competition element. Competition is healthy, good and gives the best service for users and allows the councils to have a level of oversight as well. One does not want to have too many operators and perhaps three or four is probably the sweet spot in the Dublin context but that is for others to decide.

On intoxicated riding, I mentioned the Pedestrian Defense technology that we have, which detects whether a scooter is on the pavement. It builds on the global positioning system, GPS, technology and the geofencing technology that is already on the scooter. We are actually building new sensors into our scooters so that we can understand at all times not only where the scooter is but how it is being ridden.
