I will put it like this. I do not want to be unfair to those who use e-scooters to travel to work but drug dealers are also using them. It is not just drug dealers in Dublin; I see them locally as well. Pending the introduction of legislation, which I believe would prohibit their use on footpaths - although I am not au fait with the legislation - why can the approximately 10,000 or 11,000 gardaí who are deployed in community policing and traffic units, for example, not do something about it now when they see somebody using an e-scooter on a footpath?
