Minister for Transport Shane Ross is set to propose a ban on rickshaws to allay the risk they cause to public safety.
The minister is appearing before the Oireachtas Transport Committee to discuss the issue of regulation of rickshaws, which are a popular form of transport in Dublin and a number of cities around the country.
Safety concerns have been raised around the vehicles, leading to calls from some quarters for them to be regulated or banned altogether.
Mr Ross outlined his "deep concerns about public safety with rickshaws on our streets."
Concerns have been raised over rickshaws such as blocking footpaths and forcing pedestrians onto the road, weaving recklessly in and out of traffic, paying little or no heed for the rules of the road, breaking red lights, driving the wrong way up a one-way street, and transporting passengers with little care for their safety.
A recent National Transport Authority survey revealed 57% of rickshaw passengers reported being involved in accidents or near misses. The NTA said "this is a shocking statistic."

THEY WILL NOT BE BANNED .Ross said he needs to talk to the Attorney General  JC Decaux have permission as part of the Dublin Bike deal to operate pedal vehicles to carry passengers .You will remember the Meteor and  7up pedal cars .There is also special pedal bikes for invalids and motorised scooters for invalides .At best they will be regulated and insured .That will put most if not all of them off the road

Id settle for regulation,those Brazilian drig dealers wont pay the cost that would be assocated with regulation.I think they WILL be banned though,because the NTA have said 57 per cent of accidents involving rickshaws have been reported to them,and by their own admission that is a shocking staristic
