Paul McAuliffe (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Cuirim ceist inniu faoi na rothair scrambler, and I am sure the Taoiseach welcomes the news that across north Dublin, 32 scrambler bikes have been seized following the recent changes in legislation, and the additional powers which that gives to gardaí. Along with the additional powers, it also places an onus to provide additional resources. I ask that the Taoiseach would ensure that the Government would continue to do that for gardaí to allow them to deliver further results. I also note the concerns where gardaí say that these bikes are being used in the sale of illegal drugs, and that not only are scramblers being used but also e-scooters, often by very young children. I thank the Taoiseach for his personal support with regard to the changes on scrambler bikes but I also ask for his continued support on this issue.
