I never had the pleasure or privilege of meeting Brian Crowley. I just knew him as hugely successful politician, an MEP, a poll topper and a man who dedicated his life to public service. He was somebody who had incredible commitment to public service. I understand he was hugely talented musically and was a humorous and warm individual. He was clearly a very good friend of the Cathaoirleach and a great colleague to many of my colleagues. I offer my deepest sympathies to the Cathaoirleach and all his family and friends. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

I also offer my deepest sympathies and condolences to the parents, family, friends, school and community of Grace Lynch. This time last week, Grace was a 16-year-old girl with her all of her life ahead of her. She was walking across the road when her life was just robbed from her, from her parents and from her family. The pain in her mother's voice - no human should have to endure that - and the pain they are all going through is unimaginable. My deepest sympathies go to them.

I am spokesperson for Dublin and I acknowledge that the Minister for justice met with me and my colleagues today. We have campaigned to make this form of dangerous driving illegal and to give the Garda powers to seize scramblers and tackle this issue. I am absolutely sick to the back teeth, like everybody else living in this city, and it is not just in this city, of seeing people on scramblers going around with hoods up, balaclavas on, no helmets, no licence or tax, speeding and not observing any of the laws or rules of the road. The consequences are tragic. Sadly, Grace Lynch was not the first person to be murdered by a scrambler and, at this moment in time, we cannot say she is going to be the last. It is just not acceptable.

I would really appreciate it if the Leader could urgently arrange for the Minister for Transport to come in to advise this House when the regulations that have been legislated for will be enacted, so that action can be taken. Failing that, we need an emergency ban on all scramblers everywhere until such time as this is put under control.
