This is a particularly welcome petition because it is a matter of public health in public space. I think the petitioner has great foresight, given that the Department of Health has recently launched the Healthy Ireland document, a joined-up strategy for a healthy Ireland. This is the kind of area that the Healthy Ireland document would seek to include, so the recommendation that we seek a response from the Department of Health is a good first step. I look forward to seeing this petition in the future.
