Last night in two parks of Dublin 15, namely Hartstown Park and Mick Walsh Park, local people were forced to leave the parks due to fears over safety. Scramblers have been running amok in both of those parks and throughout Dublin 15 for the past several weeks and months. I am deeply frustrated about this because I have raised it literally since I came into the Dáil and every single time it has been brought up. There is a continued lack of action. We do not need studies, plans or reviews, or all the usual mechanisms to delay or block. This week I again watched a video of a police force in Britain effectively dealing with scramblers through an anti-scrambler unit. They have them all over Britain. I have been saying this time and again. I ask the Minister for Justice to sit down with the Garda to discuss this and put plans in place to deal with it effectively, because at the moment there is absolutely nothing to stop individuals on scramblers running amok in our communities.

This has been an ongoing issue. I am aware that Deputy Paul McAuliffe led on this, and legislation was passed at the time. Implementation is very important. I will ask the Minister for Justice to engage with the Garda Commissioner. As the Deputy knows, the deployment of gardaí is an operational matter. We are told that repeatedly. If you establish more units, you reduce the number of gardaí available for broader duties.

What is happening in the two parks is unacceptable. Ordinary life cannot continue because of the dangerous practice in question, which could endanger life and limb. It is unacceptable. Some people have had horrific injuries because of this.

Yes.
