Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation

10:05 am

Dr. Eddie Murphy:

We are asking the Oireachtas to make the change, so people have better choices when they reach the point of sale. Twenty years ago people could have smoked in this room, but that has changed. Now people know it is not the norm to smoke. We want to create new norms in our society whereby health and well-being are the top priority. We want to shape society in ways that give people more and healthier choices.
