If one gets them, one gets them; that is it. I will not labour the point. It is clear that this is not something the Minister of State believes she can progress at this time. I am willing to accept this is something we may revisit in the future. I hope that good public sense would increasingly prevail and that this is an issue that would self-regulate by virtue of people staying away. That is one way to bring it to a close.

I have already indicated I support the legislation and will support its passage. I regret the amendments cannot be accepted - they have been argued for sincerely. I again thank the Irish Cancer Society for its efforts in this regard.
