I am not a member of this committee but I am passionate about this issue and that is the reason I attended. It is important to make it easy to get healthy food and the Chairman spoke about that in terms of here in the Dáil. One has to make a serious effort in many environments in Ireland to get healthy food.
If one is at a match, one cannot possibly get fruit along the way. We must find ways outside school and in other places to make it easier for people to eat healthily. My Seanad colleagues, especially male ones, would love to find it easier to facilitate a healthier lifestyle. I could go on forever.
