A ban on scramblers in public spaces will be introduced within weeks following Government discussions.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has instructed that the regulations banning the use of scramblers on public roads, parks and places are finalised urgently.
It follows a meeting convened by the Taoiseach which was attended by Tánaiste Simon Harris, Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien, Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan, Minister of State Seán Canney, Attorney General Rossa Fanning and senior officials from the Department of Justice and Transport.
A decision was taken that the drafting of the regulations will be completed quickly and they will be brought to Cabinet in a matter of weeks.
Stricter regulations will also be placed on e-scooters and e-bikes.
Meanwhile, a Government TD has proposed a 30-day amnesty and refund scheme to allow people surrender scramblers or quad bikes.
In the Dáil, Fianna Fáil TD Catherine Ardagh told the Taoiseach that she was making the proposal following the death of 16-year-old Grace Lynch, who died after she was struck by a scrambler motorbike on the Ratoath Road in Finglas on Sunday.
She said: "Nothing we can say in this House can lessen the loss but we owe it to Grace and to communities across our city and our country to ensure this tragedy leads to meaningful and effective action.
"The antisocial and dangerous use of scrambler bikes and quad bikes is nothing new. It has been, for many years, a scourge on our communities.
"It is not an isolated problem; it is a daily occurrence in Dublin South-Central and in many urban areas around our country."
Ms Ardagh said there was uncertainty around the circumstances in which scramblers can be compulsory seized by gardaí.
She told the Dáíl Chamber: "What communities see, what garda representatives themselves acknowledge, and what is happening on the ground, is that there is uncertainty around the circumstances in which scramblers can be compulsorily seized, how ownership is established where bikes are unregistered and uninsured, and what happens to seized vehicles where no lawful ownership can be ultimately demonstrated.
"There is also public confusion about whether confiscated bikes are ultimately returned, retained or destroyed," she said.
"That lack of clarity seriously undermines the deterrent effect the legislation in intended to have."
Ms Ardagh called for the Road Traffic Act 2023 to be reviewed, amended and parts commenced, and called for further legislative provisions and guidance to be implemented.
"I ask that it consider a 30-day amnesty surrender and a possible refund scheme to those who own scrambler or quad bikes and also that An Garda Síochána is given enhanced powers after this amnesty," she added.
Mr Martin did not comment on Ms Ardagh's amnesty proposal, however, he said that the 2023 Act allows for the banning of scramblers and quad bikes from public roads, which he said is "going to happen".
He said if any other issues around confiscation or ownership arise, they would be preferably dealt with by existing legislation, or new legislation if necessary.
