Taoiseach Micheál Martin announced a full review of electric bike and e-scooter regulation alongside a ban on scramblers in public parks and on roads. The Government committed to removing scrambler bikes from roads after 16-year-old Grace Lynch was struck and killed by a scrambler in Finglas on 25 January. The measures pair a regulatory review for micromobility vehicles with an immediate prohibition intended to curb illegal or dangerous off-road-style motorcycle use in public spaces. The review will examine regulatory frameworks, enforcement, safety standards, and potential changes to licensing and penalties.
