462. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health the number of applications for retail licences for tobacco products and nicotine inhaling products received since 2 February 2026; the number granted, refused and outstanding; the number of licences suspended or revoked; the number of retailers registered to sell tobacco products prior to 2 February 2026 that had not applied for a licence by 2 August 2026; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [75275/26]

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