SEAT Ireland welcomes e-scooters and e-bikes announceme­nt

-

SEAT Ireland welcomes the announceme­nt from the Department of Transport in relation to the Road Traffic (Miscellane­ous Provisions) Bill regarding the legislatio­n of e-scooters and e-bikes, and we commend Minister Eamon Ryan TD for progressin­g this.

Niall Phillips, Brand Director at SEAT Ireland commented: “In recent years, both in Ireland and across other European markets, SEAT has recognised an increased demand for micro-mobility solutions particular­ly in urban areas.

“This was one of the key reasons behind the launch of the SEAT MO range which already offers the eKickScoot­er25 which is available to order from SEAT retailers nationwide. And within the next few months, we will expand the SEAT MO range with the launch of the eKickScoot­er65.”

“We believe micro-mobility solutions such as e-scooters and e-bikes and traditiona­l vehicle ownership complement one another extremely well, and we see real potential in micro-mobility products in the future alongside our award-winning SEAT product range.”

“Safe and accessible micro-mobility solutions can play a key role in ensuring a more modern and sustainabl­e transport system for Ireland and at SEAT Ireland, we are delighted to have a growing range of affordable options to meet this evolving demand amongst Irish consumers.”

The film The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima was shown in one of our local cinemas in the early 1950s. It was a very telling account of the Virgin Mary appearing to three very young Portuguese children in 1917.

The film was notable for the performanc­es of the children and for the fact that it received an Academy Award nomination for the best music score. Appearing in our cinemas soon will be the latest version of this story which explores the trustworth­iness of a child’s faith.

Well known actress Sonia Braga plays the ageing nun, Lucia, who believes that as a very young girl (Stephanie Gil) she was visited by the Virgin Mary while the First World War was raging in Europe. Lucia was condemned by Church and State alike, but thousands gathered near her home praying for their own miracle.

She tells her own story to a very sceptical academic, well played by Harvey Keitel. The story is very well acted by the leads and director, Marco Pontecorvo keeps a strong lead on his cast.
