3198. Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú asked the Minister for Health in relation to the HSE’s national environmental health service online portal for registering tobacco products and nicotine inhaling products, whether the HSE manually reviewed and confirmed the Revenue verification result before each licence was issued; if the system issues licences automatically based on the information entered by the applicant; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [60304/26]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
