Eamon Ryan's e-scooter U-turn set to ban 15-year-old users

An age limit of 16 for e-scooter users is to be introduced in Ireland.

New restrictions to be rolled out for e-scooters will ban their use by anyone under the age of 16 after a U-turn by the transport minister following lobbying over road safety concerns.

Eamon Ryan told a Dáil transport committee in June that any plans to restrict the use of e-scooters by age would be “unenforceable”.
