Government leaders agreed new proposals on Monday to ban e-scooters for under-18s in Ireland.

Every e-scooter in the country will need to be registered from September under a plan to “get control back” amid concerns about serious and life-threatening injuries to children. You can read the latest on the ban from Ellen Coyne and Pat Leahy here.

As a pedestrian, driver or cyclist, what has your experience been sharing the roads with people using e-scooters? Or do you use one for transport yourself and find it convenient?
