Sinn Féin TD for Dublin South West Seán Crowe has described the Governments failure to support Sinn Féin's Bill, the Misuse of Motor Vehicles (Public Spaces) Bill 2012, which aims to empower the Gardaí to deal with the misuse of vehicles particularly quad bikes and dirt bikes in public parks and green spaces as an illogical and a nonsensical approach. Crowe also described the officials in the Garda Commissioner's Office who supposedly recommended that the Minister reject the Bill as out of touch and clearly not up to speed on what is happening in many communities across the state. Sinn Féin moved the Bill in the Dáil this week but the Minister for State responding indicated that the Government would be voting against the legislation on the basis of the recommendation, as there was sufficient legislation in this area and would look at it again if the problem got any worse.
