Yesterday the Government agreed to ban e-scooters for anyone under 18. Reports are emerging this morning that they will now consider making hi-vis vests and helmets mandatory for regular cyclists, which has angered some cycling interest groups 

We get reaction to this with Ray Cunningham, Dublin City Councillor for the Green Party representing  Ballyfermot Drimnagh.
