Intent: To explore the current issues around lack of regulation in this industry in Dublin & how to progress legislative review.
Details: Private meeting / stakeholder discussion organised by DPO at Leinster House, Dublin. Purpose of meeting to discuss the lack of regulation of horse-drawn carriages in Dublin and current issues affecting the industry, animal welfare & public safety.
Intent: The correspondence warned the Bill could push adult smokers back to cigarettes and fuel an illegal market. Over 350,000 adults vape in Ireland, with more than half having quit smoking entirely, yet the Bill would effectively ban the flavours used by 97% of adult vapers. International experience shows bans drive black markets, increase smoking relapse, and undermine compliant Irish businesses without reducing youth access.
Details: The Reduced Risk Products Association briefed Deputies ahead of the Second Stage debate on the Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products) (Amendment) Bill 2026. The RRPA supports measures to reduce youth uptake, strengthen age-of-sale enforcement and restrict marketing to minors, ...
The communication also highlighted concerns that the Bill protects the Tobacco industry’s. Nicotine pouches, sold predominantly by tobacco companies, would face no equivalent flavour restrictions. The RRPA argued this creates a major inconsistency: flavours would be banned in independently-owned vape products while remaining available in tobacco-company nicotine pouches, potentially pushing adult consumers away from vaping and toward products controlled by the tobacco industry. - Email
