For the sake of clarity – I do not advocate the measure – there was an exemption for cigars in the regulation under the 2002 Act. A cigar company manufactures cigars in Ballaghaderreen in County Roscommon, or Mayo, depending on whom one supports. The question is whether there is potential to exempt cigars under regulation or whether they will be governed directly by the legislation itself. I seek clarity on the matter.
