The Government is willing to ban the "scourge" of scrambler bikes in public places following the death of Dublin teenager Grace Lynch, but road safety campaigners have blasted it for dragging its heels over such action.

Transport minister Darragh O’Brien said he is willing to bring in legislation banning their use.
