Tonight's the night for Forest's man in Ireland

H/T for Forest Eireann's John Mallon.

John's had a busy couple of days as a result of the announcement that the Irish Government is to press ahead with plain packaging.

Here are some of the radio stations he's given interviews to:

Newstalk
CRC FM (Castlebar Radio)
RTE1 (flagship Drivetime programme)
96FM Cork
RedFM Cork
WLR Waterford
Midlands 103
Spin FM

John has also been quoted by the Irish Examiner:

“There is no hard evidence that plain packaging will deter children from smoking. There is, however, evidence from Australia that it will increase illicit trade.

“If plain packaging is introduced, there is a serious risk Ireland could be flooded with fake cigarettes which could be far more harmful to consumers, including children,” Mr Mallon said.

See Ban on seductive cigarette packaging a bad day for big tobacco, says Reilly).

But the big one is tonight when John is a guest on TV3's Tonight with Tom McGurk (sitting in for Vincent Browne).

Good luck, John. Your country needs you!!
