If the problem is criminals, deal with criminals.
If the problem is illegal vehicles, get illegal vehicles off the streets.
But if every enforcement challenge ends with banning something that's already regulated, why bother regulating it in the first place?

Ok. You're right. But why stop at cyclists? Let's make pedestrians wear high-vis and helmets too! It's safer right? Actually, let's make absolutely everyone wear high-vis and helmets at all times everywhere (except people in cars obviously!) so people driving cars feel better

Great way to push people away from cycling.
We live in a country where the goverment refuse to lower speed limits to 30km/hour and instead want to dress everyone in hi viz so motorists can drive like they want and the gov can cut funding to cycling infrastructure. Pathetic.

Ireland’s urban speed-limit plan falls short of default 30 km/h approach
Ireland’s revised policy on urban speed limits stops short of introducing a national default 30 km/h limit, a measure already adopted in Spain and Wales and planned in Greece.
