Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Colin Ryan:

The issues then might be around such matters as opening hours, which could be examined at that point in time. I refer to the relationship with what is in the local development plan or county development plan that the members have decided in their wisdom to put in. That is a fair point. They must be determined on that basis. It is far more nuanced.

I take the Deputy's point about the particularity of an application close to a school and the issues around advertisement, etc. Those issues are not necessarily related to the particular issues of planning per se. They are broader issues to do with public health.
