Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)

I am fully aware of the determination of the Minister in respect of this matter. However, if we cannot incorporate in the legislation some method other than the use of minors to deliver on its provisions, we will have failed. It is important that the Minister, as a matter of urgency, contacts the bodies to which I referred, particularly the health boards. I do not know if the Minister can shed light on whether the people who are charged with the responsibility of discovering the offenders will take the easy option by giving a young person money and asking them to go into a shop to buy cigarettes. I ask the Minister to re-emphasise to health board officials that he would not be enthusiastic about such behaviour.
