The death of Grace Lynch as a result of a scrambler was a shocking loss of life. It was shocking to her family, friends and community. We welcome the legislation that was brought before Cabinet today. However, there is an issue in relation to enforcement. Incredibly, gardaí are currently not trained to pursue a person on a scrambler or electric scooter. At the moment, there is no legal protection for them if they pursue. They could be stood down from their job or subject to a civil court case or Fiosrú investigation. Will the gardaí be given the training to be able to pursue individuals on scramblers?

Thank you, Taoiseach. Time is up.

There is a wide range of training.

There is no training.

The Taoiseach and the Deputy can talk further. I ask the Deputy to respect the Chair.

If the Deputy knows the answer, why did he ask the question? I will ask the Minister for justice to talk to the Deputy about this issue.
