Dáil
‹ Order of Business Standardised tobacco packaging Bill
Summary
Deputy Lawlor asks when the tobacco packaging Bill will reach the Dáil and whether it will restrict cigarette imports. Deputy Quinn says it will be taken later this session after a longer-than-expected consultation.
When is the Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill expected before the Dáil? Will it include a proposal to limit the number of cigarettes an individual can bring into the country because that is a major problem at the moment? People are bringing in numbers of cigarettes that are in excess of what they can actually smoke.
Comment on this
The pre-legislative consultation took longer than was anticipated. I am informed that the Bill will be taken later this session.
