Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Declan McLoughlin:

Yes, sports stars and celebrities cannot be included. There are a range of rules. There is also a range of other advertisements apart from high fat high sugar foods. There are also advertisements for alcohol, betting companies and so on during broadcasts of hurling and World Cup matches. What children see during adult viewing time is a more complex question.
