Róisín Shortall: This is about retail packaging of nicotine inhaling products, including vapes. The purpose of them is to allow the inhalation of varying quantities of nicotine. The whole idea is sucking in young people and getting them to a point where they will want to smoke after a certain period of vaping. It gives them a taste for nicotine and some of the buzz from it as well. I have taken this...

Róisín Shortall: I am making another comment. The Minister's comments and his insults to the committee relate to the amendment we are discussing, which was about reporting after 12 months on the operation of this legislation. On the other issues, on the things I and the committee feel strongly should be contained in this, the Minister has promised to bring forward a second piece of legislation. We got...

- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (12 Oct 2023)
Róisín Shortall: It strikes me that the House will need to look again at the pre-legislative scrutiny process in terms of what the Minister is claiming. He is saying that some of these things need notice. If that is the case, there should be a health warning in relation to pre-legislative scrutiny. I will take that up further because if what the Minister is saying is true, the committee has been misled...
