Question 254: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his views on the opinion of retailers that the recently introduced public display ban makes it easier for criminals and rogue shopkeepers to infiltrate the legitimate trade channels with contraband and counterfeit packages which leaves it harder for the gardaí and Customs and Excise officers to determine whether and the location where illicit products are sold; his proposals to address these concerns; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have asked the Gardaí for a report on the matter with a view to determining what action, if any, may be required.
