Ms Aidine O'Reilly:

The Department of Education and Skills's flagship programme in this area is the Active School flag, which operates in a similar way to the Green-Schools flag. It is like an umbrella, where many other programmes could feed into getting an Active School flag which is flown outside and which denotes the school as being a healthy school. For example, if a school does Super Troopers or Food Dudes, that will go towards the award of an Active School flag. They are in approximately 600 schools.
