Ms Lorraine Higgins:
Yes, that is something of which we are very aware. I commend Deputy Breathnach on the work he has done on this issue through the introduction of a Bill on Tuesday along with Deputy Troy. We have been working on it with Deputy Breathnach along with Retailers Against Smuggling. It is certainly something that has been growing. We will continue to intensify our efforts but in the absence of legislation, it is very hard. It is good to see that Deputy Breathnach has sought to remedy that by introducing a Bill, which is on Second Stage.
