35 Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Finance why, out of 31 convictions for illegal selling of unstamped tobacco products, the average fine was €2,803, in view of the fact that if a shop owner inadvertently sells tobacco to an underage person they must pay a fine of €3,000 and will be debarred from selling cigarette for three months; his views on whether a larger, standardised fine for the illegal selling of unstamped tobacco products would be more sensible; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
