Orthopaedic Surgeon at Midlands Regional Hospital Tullamore Prof Eoin Sheehan warns more enforcement is needed.
The Government is considering making helmet use compulsory for e-scooter riders.
It comes as almost half of people hospitalised after e-scooter crashes require intensive care, according to a new RCPI report.
The report shows a sharp rise in children admitted with traumatic brain injuries, with e-scooters now the leading cause at Temple Street’s neurosurgical centre.
Professor Eoin Sheehan is an Orthopaedic Surgeon at Midlands Regional Hospital Tullamore and says helmets alone will not prevent all injuries and more enforcement is needed:
