I thank the Chairman and the members of the committee. I think we made significant progress today and the debate was very useful. I commend my officials on their work on the legislation. I would like to get the Bill through the Dáil and the Seanad before the summer recess, if at all possible. The scrambler bike situation is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. The fact that there is illegal use of e-scooters all over the place needs to be addressed. The database will provide real assistance to the gardaí in reducing road accidents and improving road safety. The legislation needs to be implemented. I am very pleased that we got through Committee Stage today. I would like to get to Report Stage as soon as possible, and to get the Bill into the Seanad straight away.
