Plans to ban scramblers on public roads and in parks will be brought to Cabinet as early as next week. The Irish Examiner understands the Taoiseach insisted that the regulations banning the use of scramblers on public roads, parks and places must be finalised “urgently”. However, he stressed the importance of the new plans, which will see them banned on public roads, public parks, and carparks. “It is far simpler if scramblers are taken off the public roads and not allowed on these roads,” the Taoiseach said. The 2023 Act allows for the banning of scramblers and quad bikes from public roads.
