E-Scooter Law
E-Scooter Law
Under the Road Traffic (Electric Scooters) Regulations 2024, it is illegal for any person under 16 years of age to ride an e-scooter in a public place, including footpaths, cycle lanes, parks, and any other public space frequented by members of the public. This includes their use to and from school if under the age of 16. E-scooters pose a significant risk of injury for younger users and other members our community. We are encountering incidents locally involving children who were unaware they were operating these devices unlawfully. There are very specific laws in place regarding the use of electric scooters and e-bikes. See here for more detail

New data published by Tusla Education Support Services (TESS) shows that one in five children in primary and post-primary school are missing a month or more of their school year. The figures come as TESS and the Department of Education and Youth launch a national multimedia campaign to highlight this nationwide issue and create awareness about the importance of attending school.
A new support page has been developed in collaboration with key stakeholders and is available for parents and schools at gov.ie/SchoolAttendance with helpful guidance on many issues affecting school attendance.
The Respect Effect
The Respect Effect
This anti-bullying educational resource is designed to support teachers in addressing the learning outcomes within the Junior Cycle SPHE course that relate to online bullying and abusive behaviour and to empower students to take action against online bullying, through their own positive actions and behaviours.
Abbey Community College received a grant in 2021 to implement initiatives aimed at addressing the digital divide and support our learners at risk of educational disadvantage as a consequence, as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) a project under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. This funding was used to provide students with a mobile classroom of computers which gives access to research for projects at Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert level.
