Excuse us? So, there is talk of BANNING rickshaws in Dublin city

If there's one perfect end to a night out, it's feeling the wind on your face as you and your mates whizz the city streets in the back of a rickshaw.

But, it looks like the end might be nigh for that particular activity if one Fianna Fáil councillor has his way.

While speaking to Pat Kenny on Newstalk, Daithi Di Roiste argued that rickshaws pose a "public safety danger", and suggested that legislation needs to be implemented which will ultimately ban them.

"Last year Dublin City Council tried to deal with this problem by drafting a series of by-laws, but they were told it had to be done by primary legislation," he told listeners.

Highlighting the behaviour he feels warrants a ban, he continued: "It's a free-for-all. You see races going up and down Grafton Street, you see them flying around St. Stephen's Green, it really is dangerous."

Talks between Dublin City Council and the National Transport Authority regarding legislation have been ongoing.
