Sunbed restrictions for minors

Summary

Kevin Humphreys asks when legislation banning under-18s from using sunbeds will be taken; the Taoiseach says it is expected towards the end of November.

I welcome the Government support yesterday for the Bill currently before the Seanad to prohibit the use of tobacco in cars. A total of 8,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Many of them are young people under the age of 18. When will the Bill to control the use of sun beds for those under 18 be taken?
