Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (Resumed)
11:10 am
Ms Kathleen O'Meara:
On the issue of the availability of cigarettes and licensing, an annual licence fee is coming in and it will be related to whether an outlet or a shop has broken the law on selling to minors, for instance, and obviously we would welcome that measure. It is about the denormalisation of cigarettes and the removal of them from sight at the point of sale is very important in that regard.
