Following on from the issue Deputy Shortall raised, the next speaker who will appear before the committee is an academic who has done a great deal of work on the issue of the commercial detriments of health, which is an important issue because it concerns relationships with commercial actors and how their actions impact on people's health, health outcomes, equity and so on. It is an interesting and important item of work. I did not see any reference to that area in the Minister of State's opening statement. Has Healthy Ireland or the Department looked at this area? Do they have a remit for it and have they done any work in this area?
