I thank Dr. Cullen for her very informative presentation. On behalf of the joint committee may I extend our best wishes to Mr. Rice, the former manager who just retired. I am very much aware that Dr. Cullen and her group worked with Mr. Rice in promoting a healthy Leinster House complex. A signature part of her achievement is that we have a healthy option on the menu. This is a good example of how a collaborative approach to healthy eating can be achieved.

I welcome Mr. Trevor White, who is the author of a best selling restaurant guide but, more important, has written extensively on the matter under discussion and also on chefs, restaurants and the politics of food production in Ireland.
