Obviously, there is a similar correlation between that and advertising. I am aware that we do not have advertising on TV or radio but a similar phenomenon has come up in childhood obesity, in cigarettes and in alcohol in respect of the density of advertising and its proximity to particular areas like schools and sports facilities. Does the Department envisage that this will be an important part of the legislation?
