The Public Health (Tobacco) Bill, 2001, provides for the appointment by the chief executive officer of a health board or by the chief executive of the Tobacco Control Agency of authorised officers for the purposes of the Act. This will facilitate the prompt authorisation of officers for the purpose of enforcement of tobacco control legislation.
