Kieran O'Donnell: What is the relationship then between the core priorities and the hierarchy? How does the Department hope to go from one to the other?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport (13 Oct 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: That is important. The e-scooter legislation is an issue we get a lot of queries on. We will write to Mr. Spratt to see where it is at in terms of publication and when he expects the Minister will taken it to Second and Committee Stages.
