Pearse Doherty (Sinn Fein)

I did not have the opportunity to express my opposition, and that of my party, to section 3 of the Bill, but these two sections are linked and we oppose them for the same reasons. I will outline for the Minister of State why I pushed the vote on the deletion of section 3. I speak as somebody who has been smoking for a long time. I am not that old, but I have been smoking for a long period of my life. However, I am off cigarettes for the last seven weeks, so I am doing all right.
