I raise the issue of e-scooters with An Taoiseach. Legislation is due on them soon. There is a rush on this and it has to be dealt with as a matter of urgency because we have lists of serious injuries being reported where members of the public, pedestrians, cyclists and, indeed, users of e-scooters are being injured.

Many parents will buy them now as Christmas presents for their children, and I would urge them not to do that, particularly for young children. They are not toys; they are a dangerous vehicle. Some are capable of high speeds and are being driven with no lights, helmets or high-vis jackets. You can see them coming and going at night out of this place, and no protective clothing whatsoever is being worn. There are increased numbers of complaints from pedestrians, cyclists and other road users about them. As I said, many people are being seriously injured, including the users of the scooters. The Bill has completed its Fifth Stage in the Seanad, as I understand. Secondary legislation will deal with many of the issues such as age, helmets, insurance, max speeds, lights and footpaths. I just ask that the Minister for Transport will include those-----

The Deputy is way over time and his colleagues will not get in.

-----in secondary legislation. This is an important issue, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle.

They are all important issues; every one of them.

They are very dangerous.

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue and it is a very important one. Very serious issues arise from the use of the e-scooters and the safety of all concerned.

This is also in small towns.

This is the case everywhere, and wherever they are used, issues arise. I am simply saying that the Bill is in the Seanad, where amendments have been tabled which will then go to the Parliamentary Counsel. It looks like the Bill will then come back to the Dáil, given that amendments are being tabled in the Seanad. We will all try to work collectively to see if we can get this through the House before the end of the term.
