Doctors warn of need to be prepared for e-scooter injuries

The Road Safety Authority expects an increase in the number of people using e-scooters on Irish roads when regulations are passed by Government later this year.

Leading Irish doctors have warned that they will need to “watch out” and be “all over” e-scooters ahead of their expected legalisation in the next few months.

Eight people have been injured and three killed while on e-scooters in Ireland in 2023.
