Ms Paula Hilman:

I thank the Senator. We were actually having a conversation here about the single-wheel question. We can certainly get back to the Senator on that, unless someone can come up with some knowledge on it.

With regard to the e-scooters, we have inputted feedback into the proposed legislation for e-scooters. We very much welcome regulation in this area as well. That would help all of us.

On the safety aspect, we have discussed this and I believe that Professor Cusack would like to come in on the helmet aspect. When we have the regulations it would be helpful to all of us and we look forward to that. We have had input on what we in An Garda Síochána feel is relevant to the ages of people who should be in charge of the scooters and riding them, and relevant to some safety measures around helmets. We have fed this into those who are designing the legislation.
