We recently had Committee Stage of the Road Traffic and Roads Bill. We asked that before the Bill comes back on Report Stage the Minister would look at the age limit. They are basically saying that we cannot limit for age for the purchase of an e-scooter. We have asked them to look at it again.

Perhaps Professor Cusack would send that on to us and to An Garda Síochána as well. As the witnesses are probably aware, the legislation is only framework legislation. It is not detailed legislation. It would come in by way of statutory instrument from the Minister directly. That body of work is yet to take place. The committee would like to contribute to that. The committee, the Road Safety Authority and An Garda Síochána would appreciate any paper that Professor Cusack has on the subject.
