I do not want to repeat what has been said as the questions I wanted to ask have been covered. Obviously, people in other Departments deal with the illegal sale of cigarettes on the street. Are they co-operating? Are they involved in stepping up the campaign because it would be contradictory if we could catch people on Henry Street but not in a shop? Is there a way to step up the campaign to stop the sale of illegal tobacco on the streets which we see happen all the time?
