36. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if future legislation regulating e-scooters will include a legal requirement to have suitable lighting appropriate to the speeds at which they travel. [3107/21]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 161 and 162 together.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) sector, including administration of grants for SPSVs, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.

Accordingly, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
