Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation

11:30 am

Mr. Gavin Walker:

I back up the team. As Deputy Ó Caoláin stated, we have raised awareness. We brought the awareness out. It is out in the public now. Where we need to go from now is to the next step. We have presented the committee with a plan and, like Karl said, we would love to see one, two or three parts of that plan in force by the end of the year. It needs to be in force. I hope the committee has the power to do something about it.
