Vantarsi per l’Irlanda!

I always used to say that Micheal Martin didn’t get enough credit for pushing through with it, but the Irish people also deserve credit for it. I thought it would be one of those laws that would be ignored, and bar one incident where I seen a lad light up in the academy in 2008, I’ve never seen it broken.

It was and still is a great success. An entire generation of people now who’ve grown up without second-hand smoke in pubs, restaurants, work and college.

Yeah, also the first country to add a levy to plastic bags. Feels like there used to be more momentum for this kind of stuff without our current need to do 500 studies and find another country that did it first.
