Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Food Safety and Health Eating Initiatives: Safefood

10:20 am

Mr. Ray Dolan:

I thank the Chair. We would be delighted to come back with recommendations from our discussions today. Last year we were in the throes of putting together our corporate plan and great pressure was put on us to include targets. In terms of obesity targets, we were told by the clinical experts that if we maintained the same level of obesity in 2016 as we had in 2014 or 2015, we would have done a great job. I found it very sad that one would get plaudits for maintaining the same level of obesity. I will ask Dr. Foley-Nolan to discuss schools, sleep in regard to screen time and that kind of thing.
