Packaging changes may see Limerick shop stub out fag trade
THE proprietor of Limerick’s only dedicated tobacco shop has revealed she might have to stop selling smoke and snuffs to stay in business. Eleanor Purcell, who runs Cahill’s in Wickham Street, says that with an upsurge in smuggled tobacco, and the proposed plain packaging of tobacco, she may have to “let the cigarettes go”. Opened in 1870, Cahill’s sells more than 50 varieties of tobacco and snuff. When legislation came outlawing the display of tobacco products, Cahill’s was one of just four shops in Ireland which secured a derogation to allow the display.
