Seanad debates
Tuesday, 4 November 2003
Order of Business.
Senator Higgins raised the matter of smoking. While he is in favour of the general ban, he is not in favour of making publicans responsible for enforcing the law. I understand the Minister for Health and Children will bring the smoking regulations, which he has signed, before the Dáil this week. They will come before the Seanad the week after. It would be useful for the Senator to contribute on that. The Minister is certainly not for turning and he has the country with him. While Senator Higgins did not say he was against the smoking ban, I suggest he should look at his diary. He can contribute next week.
