I appreciate the Taoiseach's candour about the cybersecurity report. I look forward to him getting the opportunity to read it because it is very worthwhile. There are a significant number of recommendations in it, which will require a whole of Government approach and consideration of issues such as adding items to the curriculum in schools. It is very much a cross-departmental report, which I feel deserves consideration at the appropriate time.

With regard to childhood obesity, I welcome the Taoiseach's response. There are a number of approaches that will have to be taken in the coming years. We have had incredible drop-offs in sport participation as the Taoiseach knows as a former Minister in that field not to mention as a medical doctor. He knows there are significant issues at play in terms of young people participating in sport and-or eating healthily. It is something that whether we deal with it now or plan to increase budgets in the Department of Health in future we will have to deal with it. It is something that deserves our attention at the appropriate time. My committee will produce a report before the summer.
