A government TD is calling on authorities in his area to ban smoking around children’s playgrounds.
Derek Keating, a Fine Gael TD for Dublin Mid West, said playgrounds should be smoke-free areas where children are protected from the “irresponsible” behaviour of adults.
His suggestion follows similar statements from health minister James Reilly, and Dublin city councillor Steve Wrenn. Smokers’ rights group Forest Éireann has rejected the suggested measures, saying they are tantamount to an encroachment on civil liberties.
