Deputy Byrne also raised the health issue and medical cards. The increasing level of obesity is a related matter. We perform very badly at European level with regard to physical education. The hours of physical education in our schools are very low. I do not know if that would be a recommendation but it is something to which the Minister of State might give attention for a European-driven initiative.
