I know we have dealt with the section, but the Minister when speaking to previous sections referred to the speed limits in respect of e-scooters or PPTs. There is the option of regulation to amend such speed limits. This issue is a keen one in the public domain. I am asking only for points of clarification rather than expressing an opinion as Chair, but the Minister could further elaborate as to how he came to this conclusion with his officials. Deputy Leddin made a salient point, that is, that when this is taken out of primary legislation, the Minister may say it cannot be enforced, but it is there. The Minister might just elaborate on that. It is a key feature.
