Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)
11:05 am
Mr. Trevor White:
I admit to being depressed by the committee’s response to this session. I have stressed repeatedly that the entire debate is being framed in terms of personal responsibility. I thought I had made a sincere plea and that the points I had made were relatively clear. I wanted to stress that it was not simply a question of personal responsibility, yet every remark made by committee members has been around the importance of personal responsibility.
