Ms Kathleen O'Meara:
Yes. We are proposing a very simple solution, namely, the creation of a regulator to regulate the Irish tobacco market. There are particular reasons we are proposing this and these are based on how the tobacco market operates in this country. We are of the view that a regulator is necessary both in the context of taking the profits to which I refer and to regulate the market in a certain way.
