Dr. Mooney spoke about bringing home economics into the community. Has any work been done to liaise with Tusla? The agency set up what are known as children and young people's services committees, CYPSCs, a number of years ago. Those CYPSCs are starting to work with parents groups on nutrition and healthy eating throughout the country. Most people learn some cooking skills in the home as well as in school and prevention is better than cure. Is any work being done with Tusla and with the CYPSCs in this regard?
