Youth Work Ireland

42 officials
2026-05-20

Intent: Inform and pursuade Oireachtas members on the relevant issues for youth services around the country

Details: Annual briefing for Oireachtas members

Methods
Annual event with a number of 'asks' this year focussing on- Equal treatment of youth workers in terms of pay and conditions- Ensure work is properly funded to respond to increasing inflation and other costs- Support for a proper capital programme for youth work across Government with a central role for youth services - Lobby day

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, ...

Methods
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

Intent: The correspondence referenced European analysis suggesting a substantial proportion of vaping products circulating within the EU may be entering through irregular or illegal channels. It warned that weak enforcement, cross-border purchasing and online sales create risks for youth access, tax compliance and consumer safety. The RRPA argued that further restrictions without stronger enforcement could expand black market activity and undermine legitimate retail trade.

Details: The Reduced Risk Products Association issued correspondence to all TDs and Senators highlighting concerns about enforcement capacity within Ireland’s vaping sector. The communication stressed that the effectiveness of any regulatory framework will depend not on legislative intent alone, but on robus, ...

Methods
The RRPA called for a strengthened enforcement package including increased inspection resources, annual enforcement reporting, tax-stamp or digital traceability systems, stronger controls on online and cross-border sales, and targeted sanctions against repeat offenders. The communication argued that youth protection and public health depend on controlling illegal supply chains and ensuring compliant retailers are supported rather than undermined. - Email
