‹ Order of Business E-cigarette retail licensing
Summary
Tony McLoughlin asks when legislation licensing e-cigarette and tobacco-product retailers will be debated; the Taoiseach expects it later in the year.
Given the alarming rate of consumption of e-cigarettes and the expansion of e-cigarette shops at present, and bearing in mind the potentially serious harm being done by these items, when can we expect the Public Health (Retail Licensing of Tobacco Products) Bill to be brought before the House for debate? It will seek to introduce a much needed licensing system for e-cigarettes in Ireland.
