I thank the delegates for their presentations. It is not just digital marketing that targets children. Last week I was very critical of the "Big Big Movie" because of how it was marketed on RTÉ One. To move on from it, I have read the delegates' submissions in depth and prepared a number of questions.
My first question is for Mr. Macey who mentioned that a healthy diet could be hindered by the four As - accessibility, awareness, availability and affordability. Will he give us some real life examples from case studies of these four barriers and what they mean for people in their everyday lives.
Will I ask all of my questions before the delegates respond?
