I thank the Minister for tabling the legislation, which I strongly support.

I, too, ask to be indulged for a minute. I should have asked the Minister the following question when discussing the section on regulation. Can he clarify the sort of regulations he intends to have that will warn people about the dangers posed by sunbeds at the location of their use? Will the regulations include a reference to the skin types that are most vulnerable to damage from the use of sunbeds? How will they be enforced? Using sunbeds is not the same as smoking cigarettes, which automatically carry a warning on every package, because warnings about sunbeds will be hidden behind closed doors. I also thank the Irish Cancer Society for the work it has done on this matter.
