Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said legislation banning scramblers in public places will be called Grace's Law.
Speaking on his way into Cabinet, he said this followed a suggestion from Grace Lynch's mother.
Last month, her 16-year-old daughter died after being hit by a scrambler in Finglas in Dublin.
Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien has proposed regulations to implement a total ban on scramblers in public places and to strengthen the existing enforcement orders for gardaí.
It is expected that the ban will be put into effect in the coming weeks, and in the meantime a proposal has been made to amend regulations to increase the daily fees accrued to a seized scrambler.
The new regulations will provide greater legal clarity and explicitly prohibit the use of all scramblers in public places.
This will be in addition to existing laws, which already make it illegal to use most scramblers in these areas.
Speaking on RTE's News at One, Mr O'Brien offered his "deepest condolences" to Grace's family and her "friends and the community in Finglas".
He said the Government is "very serious" about adding the proposed "additional measures" to the current law.
"The regulations that I got approval [from the Cabinet] to conclude their preparation, will be an outright ban on scramblers in all public places," Mr O'Brien confirmed.
He said the new law would also "further strengthen" the power of gardaí to seize and "where necessary" to destroy the vehicles.
He said he expected to be able to bring the new law back to the Cabinet "in a matter of weeks," pending the "legal definition" of a scrambler, "which we're working through with the Attorney General, we will get that done".

Regulations must be backed up by enforcement
The Dáil has heard that Finglas is just one of many communities that have been terrorised by scramblers.
The Sinn Féin leader spoke about the convulsion of grief at Grace Lynch's funeral last Friday where her family were bereft and young people sobbed.
Mary Lou Mary McDonald said it was unforgivable that it took the teenager's death to get the Government to to give the gardaí the powers to get scramblers out of the community.
However, she said the regulations agreed today must be backed up by enforcement and gardaí need the tools to get the job done, because at the moment their hands are tied behind their back.
The Taoiseach said the anti-social behaviour of those breaking the law on an ongoing basis in some communities is unacceptable.
Micheál Martin vowed to stamp out the dangerous use of scramblers.
The Minister for Justice and the Garda Commissioner have held discussions about "intensive action" in certain areas, he told the Dáil.
But he rejected the claim that gardaí have had their hands tied behind their back, saying they have extensive powers.
The Government has now sanctioned the banning of scramblers on public roads and in public parks, the Taoiseach said.
There will also be new powers for gardaí to seize and destroy scramblers, he said.
Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan said that gardaí are to take a more robust approach to tackling problem scramblers.
The minister insisted that gardaí have the power to pursue scramblers, adding that they use their discretion when deciding if it is appropriate to do so.
He said that they would in "due course" also use drones to pursue these bikes.
Scramblers being used to 'intimidate communities' - Tánaiste
Speaking as he arrived at Government Buildings this morning, Tánaiste Simon Harris said scramblers are being used to "intimidate communities" and pose a "very significant danger" in terms of road safety.
"If you use a scrambler on a public road or public space, that should be seized and should be destroyed," he said.
"This can't be a question of taking the scrambler off someone for a few hours, somebody going back and asking that they have it back," he added.
Mr Harris said it was "not acceptable" that the changes were not brought in sooner.
"There was provision in relation to banning them from public spaces, and it seems a lot that was never commenced," he said.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin told the Dáil last week that legislation from 2023 allowed for the banning of scramblers and quad bikes from the roads, if sought through a regulation from the Minister for Transport, which, he said "is going to happen".
New rules are being drawn up too for e-bikes and e-scooters, including the mandatory use of helmets and high-visibility clothing.
Fianna Fáil Councillor for Ballymun-Finglas Keith Connolly said at the time of Grace's death that changes to the laws last year allowing gardaí to seize scramblers from a property without a warrant if they believe they have been used in an anti-social manner were not enough.
Grace was struck by a scrambler bike on the Ratoath Road between Scribblestown and Dunsink on Sunday 25 January. She was taken to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown, but later died from her injuries.
In 2023, the Road Traffic Act 1994 was changed to tighten rules around liability and dangerous driving in public places and roads.
The updated law made it an offence to drive dangerously in a public space - not just on a public road - a distinction targeted at scrambler and quad bikes, and for all scramblers on public roads to have to carry a tax certificate, insurance, and be driven by someone over the age of 16.
