An Garda Síochána have asked schools to help inform parents/guardians regarding the use of electric scooters by children and young people.
"Under the Roaad Traffic (Electric Scooters) Regulations 2024, it is illegal for any person under 16 years of age to ride an e-scooter in a public place, including footpaths, cycle lanes, parks, and any other public space frequented by members of the public. This includes their use to and from school if under the age of 16. E-scooters pose a significant risk of injury for younger users and other members our community. We are encountering incidents locally involving children who were unaware they were operating these devices unlawfully."
