It needs to be registered.

So they need to register them as well.

So I think there's a regulation stroke law piece that needs to be done.

And then there's also enforcement.

Now, the gore, in fairness to them, have been trying to enforce.

But it's like a little bit like Canute trying to stop the waves because there's so many of them.

I think that Jim O'Callaghan is looking at this provision that will allow Gordie to pursue scramblers and e-scooters and the question there is really about the indemnification of Gordie to prevent them from being the subject of law cases further down the line.

Look, one of the things that story today that actually shocked me a bit is that toy shops are selling e-scooters to young children that go between six kilometres and 16 kilometres an hour and market at young children.

And that will have a knock-on effect for other desirables in the budget.

There's been a lot of talk in the papers today about Simon Harris's need to give the hard-pressed middle income earners in Ireland some income tax breaks.

Well, those people read the papers, essentially.
