I move amendment No. 2:

In page 6, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:

“Report on illicit trade

11. The Minister shall, within 12 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas, including an assessment of the potential implications of the increase in the minimum age of sale of tobacco products to 21 in terms of illicit trade of cigarettes and tobacco products; and recommendation on actions to address such implications.”.

I engaged with the Minister on this earlier and I heard what he had to say.
