- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (10 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: To make it short, it appears that there is different advice in the UK. If the intention is to achieve the same objective, why do we have different advice from that in the UK? This has been raised with all of us from time to time. I am a former smoker, who smoked for 27 years. I stopped by going cold turkey - just like that - but I know people who did not stop and who still continue to...
- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (10 Oct 2024)
Stephen Donnelly: Yes, it is different. The advice I have is that the UK and New Zealand have vaping as part of their smoking cessation policy, but that no other country does. The WHO is taking an increasingly hard line on vaping. My understanding is that is for two reasons: the first of which chimes with Deputy Hourigan's point that it is still highly addictive. The second is that the evidence is still...

I genuinely thought I had done a good job convincing the Government how important sick leave is, but after reading the budget, it turns out that I have a little more work to do. During the pandemic, we spent hours discussing the importance of sick leave and of workers being able to safely and affordably stay out of work when they were not...

Dara Calleary: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta as ucht an deis labhairt faoi seo. I am taking this on behalf of the Minister of State, Deputy Higgins, and the Minister, Deputy Peter Burke. I know the House will join with me in expressing our sympathies to the Minister on the passing of his mother. As the Deputy indicated, statutory sick leave is a valuable public health intervention. It reduces...

Mary Butler: I thank Members of the House for their contributions. I thank all of those who work across mental health services in public, private and voluntary community services. They do a phenomenal amount of work. I want to refer to a couple of issues that were raised. I was asked whether the Mental Health Bill would fall if the Government was dissolved. Technically, it will fall. However, on...
