"In total 11 fixed charge notices were issued for holding a mobile phone as well as three illegal e-scooters detected," a garda spokesperson said.
"To top it off, a repeat no insurance offender had his car impounded. In the case of the E Scooters, the owners will have to apply to the District Court for their vehicle's return.
"Our advice to owners of these machines ( over 400w, with a design speed over 20kmh) is to cease using them in Public Places immediately. A mandatory court appearance awaits those detected," they added.
