Deputy Nolan feels they're becoming more of a danger in Midlands towns.
Stronger laws, and more gardaí on the street.
That's what's needed to address the dangers of e-scooters in Midlands towns according to Offaly TD Carol Nolan.
The Independent rep says she's being contacted by an increasing number of people over the use of e-scooter on footpaths and roads.
Recent data from the Maxillofacial Unit in St James' Hospital suggests the number of injuries being recorded are going up, and the number of users wearing helmets is going down.
Deputy Nolan says scooters are a particular threat to vulnerable people:
