Public Health (Single-Use Vapes) Bill 2025: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-07-07
============================================================

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I thank everyone. This is my first Bill so I am absolutely thrilled. I will have a second Bill coming in a few months. This is about all of us working together. It is about our young people. We do not need single-use vapes. This is a health-led approach. We in the Department of Health are leading on this with health in mind. The EU law is expected soon. I hope there will be an EU-wide ban. That is what we are looking for in working with our EU colleagues. I again thank all of the Senators. As I have said, if they want information or updates on anything at any time, they should contact my Department.
