HSE tobacco test purchases

Summary

Michael Healy-Rae questioned the HSE’s use of minors for tobacco test purchases; the Taoiseach said work on the Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill was continuing.

I ask the Taoiseach about the highly questionable practice by the HSE of engaging minors to carry out test purchases in shops.
