Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

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

1:00 pm

Mr. Vincent Jennings:

On that point, we took the article so seriously that we visited The Sunday Times. We obtained permission from the editor to ask the journalist to provide us with the names of the people involved. We looked through the list of shops and saw the three shops which were members of ours. We visited them and demanded that they stop. Our members have received 5,000 visits, paid for by themselves, by a young test purchaser. We are very committed to doing this. It was appalling that it had happened; it should not happen and we are doing our bit to stop it.
