Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

Before the Dáil today are two orders and one regulation pertaining to the Misuse of Drugs Act relating dealing with the changes in the law on products sold in head shops. As Deputy McGrath pointed out, the owners of these outlets are already finding ways of selling products by use of mobile telephones. When will the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform introduce the relevant legislation? Does the Government envisage that additional legislation will be required to address the issue? We must ensure the Garda has the appropriate resources to tackle this. It is important that the Government responds constantly to changes as they arise in order to protect vulnerable young people in particular.
