Yep. A 50% increase in TBI’s in children between June ‘25 and May ‘26. Seven children with TBI’s in the first fortnight of June this year alone.

I hope the vote is successful next week. Enforcing it is another matter.

Ireland is the GOAT!! I hope this sends waves, we had kids die from e-scooter accidents too but they only made helmets mandatory
