Italy challenges Irish plan to ban disposable vapes in rare intervention
The Italian government has challenged plans by the Department of Health to ban disposable vapes, criticising the proposed Irish law as a disproportionate attempt at “total prohibition”. In a rare intervention, Italy has formally complained to the European Commission that the draft Irish legislation “lacks scientific evidence” and would breach rules governing the EU’s single market. The submission from Rome, seen by The Irish Times, said the proposed ban on single-use vapes was “significantly at odds” with EU law. The submission said the proposed Irish ban would amount to an unjustified restriction on the free movement of goods within the EU market. The organisation said it did not represent “so-called big tobacco” and its members had “legitimate concerns” about the Government’s plan to ban single-use vapes.

Photo by David Fitzgerald/SportsfileManchester United players will resume their push for a Champions League place hoping to feel the benefits of this week’s mid-season training camp in Ireland. The main focus was on the training pitch, where the return of Lisandro Martinez to the group after five matches out through injury was the most welcome element. Some of the most intense competition is said to have come on the tennis court, where Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha dominated. After travelling home on Thursday, Michael Carrick’s squad had a day off on Friday before resuming preparations for Monday’s visit of Leeds over the weekend.

After official confirmation of his departure from Anfield at the end of the season, the tributes to Andy Robertson have been fulsome and deserved. Since that transfer window closed, Robertson has made only two Premier League starts - in the win at Sunderland and the home draw with Spurs. But the chances are Robertson’s involvement in the remaining seven Premier League games will be from the bench. He started 29 Premier League games last season and came off the bench in four.
