Go raibh maith agat. Déanfaidh mé sin, a Cheann Comhairle. I welcome this Bill that seeks to introduce a licensing system for retail sales of tobacco and e-cigarettes. It also seeks to introduce a range of restrictions on sales of the products. I could say much on this but my colleagues are in the Chamber, and they may not be here the next day.

This is a big issue for young people with all the different clever advertising that goes on with this. We need to tackle this head-on. I hope this Bill will go some way towards that. I give it my full support. I will hand over to my colleague for one minute.
