The hospital has said that the number of serious brain injuries that they have seen in children recently is unprecedented, with doctors describing it as an epidemic that is out of control.
17 year old Janis Ghirghircic Ozols from Carlow died this week after falling from an e-scooter.
6 other children are in intensive care following similar accidents.
4 of those 6 children are currently on life support.
Professor Darach Crimmins believes that a complete ban on e-scooters is necessary.
"I've been in operating with my colleagues, most nights on children. It's now the single biggest cause of head trauma in children, and has been for the last year. Skull fractures, intracranial haemorrhage, surgery to relieve pressure on the brain, surgery to put in pressure monitors," he said.
"All these children end up back on life support in our intensive care units. Some of them will be on life support for some weeks and some of them may not make it.
"None of these children that I've treated this week will be the same children ever again. Severe brain injuries will affect them physically, will affect them socially, will affect them intellectually.
"They will never reach the same level of educational attainment, or social attainment, that they would have had this not happened."
Prof Crimmins has explained that he feels "quite angry" about the e-scooter accidents as he believs they are "completely preventable. And all it takes is a strong government to turn around and say, okay, enough is enough".
Crimmins has also said that these life threatening accidents mean that other children who need surgery for problems like congenital brain problems, or brain tumors are not being operated on "as much" as should be.
"The legislation introduced two years ago has made no effect. There was a public health campaign last Christmas, the number of injuries has only increased since then. My adult colleagues in Beaumont are seeing the same thing in adults using these scooters.
"It's the single biggest cause of cranial trauma for them as well. I think that e-scooters are inherently unsafe. I don't think any legislation about their use and how you use them is, in any way, effective. And I think there should be an outright ban in high schools for everybody in public places." added Crimmins.
In 2025 over 400 children attended the Emergency department for e-scooter related injuries.
Dr Emer Ryan described that "children are coming off e-scooters like little catapults. Their skulls are crushed against the pavement. They're crushed against the lamp post. They damage their internal organs, and they're life changing."
It is currently illegal to be on an e-scooter under the age of 16 years old, however this law receives little to no enforcement and doctors are calling for a change, in order to keep children safe.
