Seán Sherlock: The key line in the Minister's response is: "In the case of INFANT, the independent international oversight panel recommended that it should not receive immediate refunding." I know the Minister of State does not wish to deliberately misinform the House. I know notes were prepared for the Minister and I have been in that position. Let us be clear that there are two processes here. One is...

Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (3 Oct 2018)

There are many bars throughout the country which sponsor soccer teams, GAA teams, all classes of sporting organisation and the quid pro quofor that sponsorship is that their particular hostelry is emblazoned on the jersey. As a consequence of this amendment, will that practice cease beyond 31 December 2023? That practice is, by implication,...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 1: Tobacco Products Tax (9 Oct 2018)

Seán Sherlock: As I have the ear of the Minister, and thus a captive audience, I plead with him and, by extension, the Government to look at the cost of nicotine-replacement therapies, which is exorbitant and which proves to be a disincentive to moving from smoking to therapies such as inhalers, lozenges or gum. If the cost is so prohibitive it acts as a disincentive. I understand it is covered by the...
