Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I ask the Tánaiste about the statutory instrument that the Minister for Health and Children introduced last week to ban "happy" pills. How will that be enforced? What was formerly a legal substance will now become an illegal substance. Will the Garda raid shops scattered around the country seizing a substance which two weeks ago was a legal substance on sale and may now still be on the shelves as an illegal substance? How will this been enforced? Has the Minister for Health and Children circulated to shops around the country details of the new statutory instrument, which she has placed in the Oireachtas Library?
