An Garda Síochana in Kilkenny are clamping down on the unauthorised use of e-scooters
An e-scooter was seized by An Garda Síochana in Kilkenny after a child under the age of 16 was seen in use of the device.
The child will receive a JLO Caution and Tusla will be in contact with his parents.
“PARENTS - PLEASE BE AWARE It is against the law for children under 16 to use an e-scooter on any public road, footpath or cycle lane,” a garda spokesperson said.
In Ireland, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to ride an e-scooter in public places. If an underage person is caught riding one on a public road or cycle lane, members of an Garda Síochána have the legal power to confiscate the e-scooter.
