5:45 pm

I move amendment No. 7:
I do not wish to delay the House and the Minister knows our motivation on this. The amendment seeks to include the quit-line details. The experience of this in Australia is that the calls to the line in that country increased by nearly 80%. By way of assistance to people such as me, who successfully gave up smoking, this is something we can and ought to do. I hope the Minister can accept it.
In page 8, line 18, to delete “law.” and substitute the following:“law;(d) the text ‘National Smokers Quitline 1800 201 203 - www.quit.ie’.”.
