Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I am not sure what the exact ruling on this is but my understanding is that there are specified colours and so on for the signs, that they have to have a white background and I think black and red are allowed. We have been told, however, that other signs have gone up. If so they may be in breach of the law and if it is not as tightly controlled as it should be then let us accept Deputy Reilly's amendment.

Will the Office of Tobacco Control, or whoever else is monitoring this, go out and make sure the signs being used are in line with what is allowed? If the letters we have received are true it seems there are breaches. It may be a matter of regulation or of needing to change the legislation.
