I am sure all Senators support the efforts by the Minister for Health and Children to discourage the smoking of tobacco. I ask the Leader to draw the Minister's attention to a British company which yesterday announced it was targeting the Irish market to sell legally half price cigarettes. I will provide the name of the company for the Leader. If it is able to deliver cigarettes to customers who are perhaps under age at prices that eliminate the benefits of the Government's taxation policy, which inhibit smoking, it will undermine legislative measures in this area.
