I thank the witnesses for being here. This is an incredibly important engagement. This legislation is long overdue. Like Deputy Cullinane, I am concerned that all of these issues are not part of the Bill. It is not good enough. The delay with regard to the Bill is also not good enough. As has been stated by Ms Power and others we have an excellent record in this country in terms of dealing with smoking. We have not been afraid to take on big business and powerful vested interests and so on. Sadly, in terms of vaping, that is not the case.

I have a number of questions. Is vaping in buildings legal or, like smoking, is it banned?
