Public Health (Tobacco)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Second Stage (10 Jul 2009)

James Reilly: Although I welcome the Bill, I have grave reservations about some the Minister's amendments. On Committee Stage I will table amendments to them. When we debate a Bill of this nature, it is important we keep in mind the background to it. There are those lobbying for change to the original legislation, which carried a mandatory suspension from the retail register of three months, versus those...

Public Health (Tobacco)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

James Reilly: According to the Irish Cancer Society, we are spending €1 billion on the health-related complications of smoking. Smuggling is a separate issue but there is no question that increasing the price of cigarettes, which the Irish Cancer Society seeks and which I support, will lead to greater to temptation to smuggle but that is an enforcement issue for the Customs Service and the Garda. This...

Public Health (Tobacco)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

James Reilly: That is very regrettable. It is very well to speak of indictment, jail, fines and so on, but I do not accept for one moment the case put. Perhaps someone from the Judiciary will correct me, but my understanding is that if one is found guilty, one is found guilty. If there is a mandatory sentence it must be applied and that is what is at question. We are discussing a mandatory suspension...

Public Health (Tobacco)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

James Reilly: Amendment No. a1 clearly seeks to put in place a minimum period of 14 days for all offences other than the grievous and serious offence of selling tobacco products to children. In that instance a mandatory three-month suspension will apply. As Deputy Jan O'Sullivan said, the Minister's view of mandatory could be from half an hour to three days which is laughable. It will be sneered at by...
