I intend to submit a Memorandum to Government shortly seeking approval to draft a General Scheme of a Bill to restrict the use of sunbeds. This Memorandum will, inter alia, take into account recommendations from a wide range of bodies including the World Health Organisation, the Irish Cancer Society, the Environmental Health Officers' Association and the National Cancer Control Programme in the HSE. Subject to Government approval, work will commence on drafting the legislation needed.
