James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

I have no problem if the Bill covers these signs and I will happily withdraw the amendment but I refer the Minister of State to the last paragraph of the letter from the Irish Heart Foundation, which states:

However it has come to our charity's attention that retail outlets are indeed carrying a second sign clearly designed to attract the attention of young people. This is yet another insidious ploy by the tobacco industry to attract young smokers by "bending the rules" and we strongly urge you to take immediate action to have them removed.

If this is an enforcement issue the Minister of State should please ensure it is enforced.
