Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-11-07
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

Maybe I will not, as it will take more than 30 seconds and colleagues have it.
What I will say, if the Acting Chair will indulge me for maybe 60 seconds, is that this Bill is essentially a public safety Bill that aligns with many of the protections we are trying to put in place for young people. We have already brought in vaping legislation and are bringing in more. We are taking a very strong view in respect of online safety. This Bill is in line with that in the context of keeping young people safe. I hope it will have the support of the House.
