Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill: Discussion with Minister for Health

12:45 pm

Dr. Tony Holohan:

Okay.

As a consequence of the submission process we have 6,000 submissions. On our behalf the Institute of Public Health is doing an analysis of those and we hope to have a report on them in the near future. As the Minister has already said, this is part of the tactical game that is played by the industry to drown us, if I may say it, in paper.
