A TD says scramblers are causing huge stress for elderly people in urban areas across the country.
Efforts are being made in these communities to encourage riding in a controlled environment, such as on a race track.
TD Maurice Quinlivan says bikes can be seized if they're not taxed and insured - but Gardaí don't always pursue offenders due to safety concerns.
He says scramblers are extremely dangerous for their riders and members of the public.
