Two teenagers were reported to be on the scrambler bike, which sped from the scene as the young girl’s mother and grandmother looked on in horror. Councillor Charlie O’Connor (FF) described the incident as “terrifying” and said he had since made representations to Transport Minister Eamon Ryan. A scrambler bike running over a three-year-old child in a public park simply cannot be tolerated.”A Department of Transport representative said Minister Ryan wished the injured child a speedy recovery. Gardaí said the investigation into the Tallaght incident is ongoing.
