Ms Christine Moloney:

These are our future adults, so it is a vast problem if we are not planting the right seeds. It is a big problem for the future.

Deputy Catherine Byrne referred to the waistband initiative launched by safefood. This was operated through chemists. Why was it not launched in all of the leisure centres throughout the country? People could have come to get their waistbands measured in our facilities. That would have been the natural environment, not the chemist's store. We were totally forgotten about in that regard.
