MOTION NO.11

MOTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

That this Council, noting the increased illegal, reckless and unsafe use of scramblers, quad bikes and other similar mechanically propelled vehicles in our Parks across our County and noting the difficulty encountered by An Garda Siochana in bringing successful prosecutions under existing By-Laws, now calls on the Government to introduce primary legislation to regulate the ownership and use of all those vehicles.

REPORT:

The issue of scramblers and quads remains high on the Council's agenda, with continued liaison with An Garda Siochana and others in relation to this their use.

If the motion is passed details of the members' sentiments as outlined will be conveyed to the Government, and when a reply is received it will be issued to the Members.
