'There seemed to be no concern from the store owners about the repercussions of selling a licensed product to an under-age child.'
A Northern Ireland council is to take immediate action to detect shops illegally selling vapes following a "rise" of illegal sales to school children in the district.
Mournes Sinn Fein representative Michael Rice, the council's youngest ever former chairperson at the age of just 22, said: "Vapes being sold to school children has been an issue that has been increasingly raised to me from concerned parents. "There seemed to be no concern from the store owners about the repercussions of selling a licensed product to an under-age child."
Cllr Rice added: "The reality is we need pro-actively educate shop owners, not just vape product stores.
