What if they actually hit someone? All they'll get is a ban from driving (useless) and maybe a fine (they wont pay). Worst they'll get is a suspended sentence despite all their previous convictions.

A prominent figure in Limerick once said about the plans for Greenway connecting the city to the suburbs that scrambler biking wouldnt occur because of the people out walking and enjoying the route, just goes to show that simply wouldnt happen. Its why we cant have nice things, the minority destroying it for the majority

Loads of people use the place everyday and there are no problem so some days there is the odd scrambler but don't get too disheartened

Met them further up with sulkies lately showing absolutely no regard for anybody. Witnessed them charging at a small boy on a bike and making no effort to slow down. It nearly ended badly

No problem. Yes there is a small beach back behind the the arena. That's where all the people collected a few weeks back. It's a nice place when quiet but you can get all sorts there in the warm weather.

GPS location 52.675597,-8.564586

Did anyone else refer to the beachy stream area out by Rosbrien as Sandy as well? It’s located between what is. now the back of Kilteragh and the railway line to the Cement Factory.

Group of fine young upstanding citizens at the bridge before the grove island roundabout hopping rocks off cars all with hoods up and electric scooters, so watch out if passing this evening or any other.

Hopefully no one gets hurt such a stupid dangerous thing to do.

Guards called but they will long gone.

Pity their electric scooters couldn't accidently get rolled over it might teach them a lesson then,since their parents can't control them.

VAT no doubt. Our VAT rate and the German VAT rate is different. They are 19% and we are back to 23% so likely that is what you're seeing.

Clareman

Yeah, I'd say it's VAT, check out the online buying forum on here they'll know for definite

Just be weary that if the total cost is over €150, you'll have to pay Vat and possibly customs duty too

Clareman

It's a bit of a minefield buying online now, I'd recommend asking in the online buying forum to make sure you're not wasting money, I've heard of people saving a fiver on Amazon.co.uk but it ended up costing over €20 more once duties were paid.
