More detail sought on Garda powers to  stop scramblers

Politicians have called for more detail on planned Government legislation clamping down on the use of scramblers and quad bikes.

Local politicians who have been clamouring for years for action on scramblers and quad bikes have welcomed planned Government legislation.
