Amharc ar fhreagraMy intention is to legislate for e-scooters, in accordance with the Programme for Government. Department officials are working on drafting the necessary changes to primary legislation as part of the forthcoming Road Traffic Bill. The Bill is currently undergoing pre-legislative scrutiny.
When the Bill is enacted, it will give the Minister for Transport powers to make regulations for the use of e-scooters and other forms of powered personal transporters.
