Financial Resolution No. 1: Excise (Tobacco Products)
6:00 pm
Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)
I will give the bad news first. Obviously, I hope Deputy Stagg, the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Deputy Cullen, and others avoid it but the international statistic is that half of all smokers will die from smoking-related diseases. Unfortunately, that is a constant figure in this country and elsewhere.
