My Department has engaged with other stakeholders, including the Department of Justice and Equality and the Garda Síochána, on the issue of possible legislation to address the problem of scramblers and quads in public parks.

Following from these discussions, my officials are currently exploring a possible approach in the legislation, which could, if agreed, be introduced as an amendment to the forthcoming Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. The passage of primary legislation through the Houses is dependent on the formation of a new Governement.

Consideration of the possible approach has inevitably been delayed by the need to focus staff resources on the response to the Covid-19 outbreak.
