Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for his inaugural comments in his new role as a TD for Wicklow-Wexford. I wish him well and look forward to working with him, being from the neighbouring constituency of Wicklow. He is right that the previous Government and our colleague, the former Minister, Stephen Donnelly, showed great leadership on the issue of vaping in bringing forward very important and progressive public health legislation on this. The new Minister for Health, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, and the Government are committed to taking further steps. We are seeing growing evidence in respect of the public health concerns and damage, and the broader issue of litter and environmental concerns the Deputy mentioned. I will ask the Minister to revert to him with a timeline.
