Well, that’s that problem solved then….
They laziest approach taken as always I see. Anything but getting more Gardai to enforce and police the rules. It’s like the government wants more chaos on the roads
The ban for under 16s and on footpaths and all that was massively effective. I cant see why this wouldnt work. Cant see it at all.
That’ll make fuck all difference. If it was actually enforced, it might help. Does anyone think it’ll be enforced??

> there will be a requirement for licensing and registration.
Probably the more important part of the story.
I wouldn’t be against an outright ban but honestly the kind of people who would respect the ban aren’t the people who were the issue to begin with.
If they can’t enforce a ban against children, there’s no point banning it for adults because the people who are problem will still be using them.
Fucking laughable. They’re currently banned for under 16s and can’t even enforce that.
The under 18s don’t give a fuck in the first place.

Ah so just like revenge porn being banned, disposable vapes, and about 15 other bans they’ve sent through in the last 5 years, it will act as mouth service and never be enforced.
Fantastic news.
Yes because you are really going to know who is 18 and who is 16 when a lad whizzes by you head to toe dressed in black including the obligatory balaclava cos somehow thats now normal.
Why not 3rd party mandatory insurance. Spain requires it
It’s also illegal for under 18s to sell crack cocaine on O’Connell Bridge in broad daylight every day of the week.
Means fuck all if they don’t enforce it.
Sure it’s already banned for under 16’s and I see multiple children a day on them.
When will the government make it a parental responsibility to enforce this? Will there be any accountability for parents here?? Well no obviously…
Previous ban: under 16
New ban: under 18
Change in situation: none
Ahh yes just like scramblers are not allowed on the roads.
There are fines for not picking up after your dog, the number of fines issued is <5 every single year.
Laws and rules are irrelevant if not enforced.
Good news everyone. Next week they are banning burglaries!
Easier said than done, this is pointless
Idiots aren’t just limited to kids tho. I’ve seen adults using these on the national road. Almost caused an accident because people have to literally stop to make their exit.
Making policies based on newspaper articles is really poor form in general.
Wow so this will change nothing
Improve public transport. If our longterm goal is to move further away from our dependency on cars, and if we’re going to make it more difficult for people to legally use things like e-scooters (e-scooters that have already been purchased due to being told that they’re a good alternative to cars), then we need to improve our public transport a wee bit more imo.
