Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I have been contacted by the Irish Cancer Society which is concerned that cigarette smoking be limited and discouraged. I understand the heads of a Bill were due before Cabinet this week to reduce the fine imposed on shopkeepers for displaying tobacco goods. Is that true? If it is, will the Bill be introduced before the end of this session? I understand the proposal is to reduce the fines to a derisory level making them ineffective.
