‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Scrambler and e-scooter injuries
Summary
Ken O’Flynn calls for a debate on scrambler bikes and rising e-scooter injuries among children.
Further to the revelations in today's newspapers to the effect that doctors are looking for an outright ban on scrambler bikes, despite the fact that we have new laws coming in, it has emerged that 1,100 children have attended hospital on foot of e-scooter injuries in the past five years. There have been 59 serious injuries, some involving organ displacement, have been reported. This House needs to have a debate on that matter.
