Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

Notwithstanding the fact that the culprits on Eden Quay were using e-scooters and were wearing black clothing, I can assure Deputy McCormack that the strong likelihood is that they will be apprehended. The Garda has great success in apprehending people involved in those types of violent criminal attacks in the city centre. We saw that a suspect was arrested in respect of the injuries sustained by an English tourist on Saturday evening.
I will give consideration to what the Deputy said. However, I know from An Garda Síochána that it does seize e-scooters from people under 16 years of age and that needs to be done continuously and repeatedly. I will engage with my colleague in transport, the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, to see whether he has any proposals in respect of regulating them on a wider basis.
