Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am well aware of the scrambler issue. Deputy Paul McAuliffe led the charge some time back when the Government was formed to get the legislation passed because of his experience on various forums in Dublin City Council. I endorse what Deputy Donnelly has said about the purchase and use of scramblers by young people, which can endanger life and cause significant injury. These are operational matters for An Garda Síochána and the Commissioner. There is an argument that because it is prevalent in urban areas, if we confine the response to one unit that be may not be optimal in dealing with the issue.
