I will try not to repeat points made previously. The Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021 is on its way through the Seanad. When will that conclude? The Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland, MIBI, appeared before the committee recently. Its representatives told us they estimate that almost 200,000 cars are taxed but not insured. It is a frightening to think that so many cars are on the road which people have gone to the bother of taxing but not ensuring. The concern I have is that there are even more cars on the road that are not taxed or insured. We regularly see people being hauled up before the courts for not having tax, insurance or an NCT certificate. When will we see the Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021? When will e-scooters, particularly those for hire, legitimately end up on our streets operating within the rules and so on?
