Gardaí have made four arrests linked to alleged street dealing involving people using e-scooters following community concerns in Dublin's city centre.

The operation follows comments by Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly last week that e-scooters were being used in "cities and towns" for local street dealing and drug-related intimidation.
