This is the first Government in the history of the State to put in place a principal officer across the Departments of Education and Skills, Children and Youth Affairs and Health to deal with the issue of obesity and to get more co-operation to address the issue of education. I agree with the Deputy that this is a serious issue and we must tackle it at many levels.
