Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)

12:30 pm

Mr. Joe Sweeney:

Mr. Jennings might have something to say about that.

I believe that if the laws that are in place were fully implemented, it would be a help but there is not enough enforcement at the moment. I refer to ridiculous fines and the sentencing of people who are caught trading in illegal tobacco, which are laughable sometimes.
