Chemist chain kicks sex toy decision to touch

BOOTS has made no decision about the introduction of Durex Play, a sex toy range, to its Irish chain, it said yesterday.

Earlier reports said the group was about to bring the sex aids to its stores in Ireland and Britain.

In its first official comment, the chemist chain said the matter of sex toys was still at the early stages of consideration. Boots also confirmed it achieved sales of £200m (€287m) in the Irish market in the six months to September 30, 2004.
