I thank the witnesses for coming here and giving an excellent presentation. They might excuse the pun when I say it has certainly given us food for thought on what legislators must do. There is a real issue that will require Departments working together, with the Department of Education and Skills having a serious role to play. Perhaps the same presentation can be given to the Joint Committee on Education and Social Protection.

I do not have any questions. I thank the delegation for an informative presentation. Given the severity of the obesity problem in Ireland it behoves all of us, regardless of political party or none, to work together to address it.
