The Garda Commissioner says he would “absolutely” support an outright ban on e-scooters on Irish roads. According to reporting from RTE, the position is expressed as support for a full ban rather than limited restrictions or regulation. The same view is reflected in coverage attributed to the Belfast Telegraph, which also states that the Garda Commissioner backs an outright ban on e-scooters being used on Irish roads. The articles present the commissioner’s comments as a personal stance and do not indicate that a final government decision has been made. No detailed timetable, legislative proposals, or alternative policy options are described in the provided excerpts. Overall, the reporting converges on the central point that the Garda Commissioner supports an outright ban, framing the comment as a clear endorsement of prohibiting e-scooters on public roads in Ireland.
