Scrambler Motorbikes and Quad Bikes: Motion [Private Members] (17 Nov 2020)

Dessie Ellis: In 2017 Sinn Féin moved its first Bill on quads and scramblers to tackle the scourge of the illegal use of these vehicles which has plagued our communities for years. In 2018 our Bill was debated in the Dáil and was voted down by the Government and Fianna Fáil. Since then, a number of deaths and many injuries have been caused by these vehicles.

Dessie Ellis: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I thank all those in attendance who have helped to ensure this debate goes ahead. I hope to secure cross-party support for the Bill.
