They suggested we contact the Gorda Press Office regarding enforcement. matched

And bear in mind all the while parents and young adults and teens were were asking us on this programme, get them to do something about it. matched

Get them to close these shops down. matched

They were pleading, parents were pleading with us on air. matched

So on foot of that advice from the Department of Justice and uh the Minister for Drugs, we did contact the Gorda Press Office. matched

We received statements from the Gorda Press Office who mentioned the Food Safety Authority. matched

And we received statements from the Su food safety authority. matched

Who say that vapes are not foods? matched

So it doesn't fall under its remit. matched

We received statements from the HSE and the Department of Health as well, some of uh which we brought you uh in the last couple of days. matched

We've received a statement from the revenue commissioners this afternoon. matched

And they say the revenue says um that the revenue plays a role in the enforcement of illegal vaping products and this responsibility primarily centers around products that it contain illegal substances such as THC and HHC. matched

as these are controlled drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act nineteen seventy seven. matched

But the packet that I showed yesterday, uh or waived yesterday in this studio matched

Said it was THC and H H C free. matched

So that it could be a derivative of of those, but it's still doing harm, obviously. matched

But the revenue commissioners said in their statement so far this year matched

There have been two hundred and forty two seizures of illegal vaping products, according uh to the revenue commissioners. matched

Now what we don't know is if these shops are still in operation after those seizures of illegal ille illegal vaping products. matched

We don't know from the statement, I think, uh what or if there was a sanction. matched
