What Deputy Kenny said indicates that we should not take all Stages of this Bill today. I understand there has been consultation with shopkeepers on the legislation, but not with organisations such as the Irish Cancer Society and the Irish Heart Foundation, who are concerned about its public health elements. We need to have time between Second Stage and Remaining Stages to have such consultation and tease out the kind of issues Deputy Kenny raised. The legislation we are being asked to amend has only recently come into force and we are already producing a Bill to amend it. The guillotine is not acceptable.
