Ms Cliona Loughnane:

I am not sure if that is a fiscal issue. The Department of Education and Skills introduced a policy whereby vending machines are banned from primary schools. Some fiscal measures are required but it is also necessary to put in place public health policies which indicate that it is not acceptable to make certain products available in locations where children are to be found. There is, for example, a policy in place whereby the advertising of these products during television programmes aimed at children is forbidden. We are discussing fiscal measures here but there are many other measures which also need to be introduced.
