RTE Claire Byrne Live viewers horrified as mum says toddler was left with broken shoulder after being hit by scrambler in public park

RTE Claire Byrne Live viewers were left horrified after the mum of a toddler appeared on the show to call for a total ban of scramblers after her child was struck by one whilst out for a walk in a Dublin park.

Sarah Lewis told Claire that her three-year-old daughter Holly was "lucky to be alive" after the incident which took place in the Sean Walsh Memorial Park, Tallaght, on April 15.

The mum said she was out for a walk with her mother, two-month-old baby and daughter Holly when they noticed some young boys travelling up and down the park on the scrambler.
