Scrambler warnings have been issued after two people, including a toddler, were struck by the motorbikes being driven recklessly on Cork’s northside.

In one incident, a woman, 20, was knocked down and seriously injured by a scrambler bike, and in a separate incident, a two-year-old infant, who was struck by another scrambler, required hospital treatment.
