Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages
3:00 pm
Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)
I thank the Minister for her reply. Before she reached the last sentence I was beginning to think it would be an awful shame if old signs such as the ones under discussion were covered by the Bill. Ireland markets itself partly in terms of the old Irish pub. Many of these have been recreated and one sees signs for Sweet Afton, Woodbines and other brands of cigarette which I remember from childhood. I was hoping the Minister would reply in the manner she did. It is nice to see such old signs still displayed and if the products are not available for sale today they do not pose a threat.
