SCRAMBLER BIKES ARE continuing to cause serious problems in many areas across the country.
Gardaí in Santry seized a bike which was racing with two others yesterday.
The driver was under 16 and had no driving licence or insurance. It’s understood that the bike in question was a Christmas present.
It comes after the death of 16-year-old Warren Kenny on Christmas morning.
The teenager from Ballyfermot died after crashing a scrambler-type bike he received as a Christmas present.
A garda spokesperson told TheJournal.ie that there is a problem with these bikes in certain areas around Dublin.
Dublin City Sinn Féin Councillor Noeleen Reilly has called on Dublin City Council to develop a more community led approach to scramblers and quads, saying:
This is obviously a very dangerous situation for all involved and in most cases these bikes are not insured.
“I have spoken to the Gardaí on many occasions and they will tell you that because of the fear of an accident they cannot chase after anyone on a scrambler of quad.”

My tip is to be insulting and unhelpful. My inbox is empty these days after implementing this policy
I find that insulting and unhelpful
I’m not even going to bother to reply to that.
Fine, Alan.

I think the journal.ie is struggling for news now that the Garth Brooks saga is over!
You must be very bored Quinton!
That’s 3 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back…..
Do you ever get any minutes of your life back? ;-)
Feck. You have a good point there. :-D
That saying is about learning something useful that will reduce the time it takes to perform a task in the future.
So if the three minutes it took to read this article helped you learn something that will save you 3 minutes in the future, then you could argue that you do get those three minutes back.
Just not in this case I guess!
Am I the only person that likes getting emails? I actually feel sorry for myself now after writing that, I have friends-I promise!
Wish I had read this a few weeks back- applied for a few jobs via email and I realised I had forgot to attach my cv to one. Had to resend the email with the cv and apology attached. Needless to say I didn’t get called for interview!
Press delete and be done with it!
have your say
