E-scooter ban for under 18s deferred - what do you think?

Lunchtime Live

About

A ban on under 18s using e-scooters due to be introduced this month has been deferred following advice from Attorney General Rossa Fanning.

The Cabinet agreed to a series of new restrictions following a report that showed one third of all paediatric traumatic brain injury admissions to Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) at Temple Street this year were related to e-scooters.

What do you think of this deferral, is this acceptable?

Guest host Clare McKenna is joined by listeners to discuss.
