It sounds as if the Minister's officials have been briefed by the Irish Cancer Society, ICS. The section has two parts - remove the ad valorem tax and cap it. My understanding is that this might be difficult in terms of complying with EU regulations, but would the Minister consider a maximum price? If the total sales price can be capped, the ad valorem price would fall and the specific price would increase, squeezing the manufacturers' price. I assume this is the ultimate aim.
