On the issue of tanning injections and the dangers highlighted by the Irish Medicines Board under its remit, particularly for young children I refer to the parents who are being irresponsible has the board been robust in its campaigns warning of the dangers of using these products, particularly if they are bought on the Internet? Those products, and other counterfeit products, can be bought on the Internet. We all get spam e-mails about different types of Viagra, other tablets and so on. My inbox is inundated with a multiplicity of requests from God knows who and I am concerned about that because the Internet has become a tool that everyone from the age of three to 83 can use. We must be more vigilant about this issue.
