Details: Emails were sent to Sinn Fein TDs and Sinn Fein Councillors asking them to support a ban on fox hunting with horses and hounds.

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

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
