I pay tribute to Deputy Breathnach for bringing forward the Bill. Any of us who grew up in the 1980s had a weekly market. In my case, the weekly market in Navan was a paradise to explore as a young child. One learned fairly quickly that not everything on sale in the market was kosher and one did not have to have watched an episode with Del Boy and Rodney to figure that out. By the time I was a teenager it was the place where one went to go to a certain stall to get fireworks at Halloween. They were discreetly stored underneath the table. For those who partook of cigarettes there was a separate stall that would offer them. Thankfully, it was never a vice to which I fell victim.
