In the letter, Don Carroll of multi-national tobacco company PJ Carrolls’ tells the Taoiseach that the company may decide to stop investing in Irish businesses if a new bill goes through.
At the time, the government were proposing more tobacco regulation including increasing the size of warnings on packets and advertisements.
Carroll argued that his Irish-owned businesses would be hit harder by the laws because they depend so much on the Irish market compared to their competitors.
