In the meantime, they’re running a trial scheme on the five campuses of Dublin City University (DCU) to see how staff and students get on with the technology. The trial is a collaboration between Tier, DCU, tech company Luna and Science Foundation Ireland’s Insight data analytics unit. Minister for road transport, Hildegarde Naughton, who watched the roll-out of the fleet of 30 e-scooters, praised the innovation behind the scheme.
