The Deputy has asked three questions I was going to ask. I would like to tag on another question or two. Would Ms Dean like to mention any aspects of the Bill that go too far, or do not go far enough, in her opinion? Does she believe there is anything missing from it? I hear what she is saying about other countries coming forward with their own legislation. I think we are going slightly further than other countries. I would like to get Ms Dean's opinion on whether we are going far enough. I would also like her to elaborate on the products in the Irish market that will have to be reformulated. How many products and what kinds of products are we talking about?
