I think anyone would have seen this coming. Fine Gael TD John Deasy, the very man who was caught smoking in the Dáil bar after the ban came into effect, is to avoid prosecution. The Office of Tobacco Control contacted the TD in the past few weeks to confirm that they will not be taking action against him.
He could of course been fined up to €3,000 for the offence, mere pocket change to a man such as himself I’m sure. Maybe not though, now that he’s been sacked as a direct result of the fiasco.
The man is obviously either a rebel or an idiot. Probably both. Just another example of “one law for the rich…” etc.
