I suppose I am no different from Senator Noone in that I have done my own little bit of research. Mine focuses solely on flexibility and mobility and the role the transition year, TY, programme could play with first years such as measuring them when they come in and seeing how they do at the end of the year. That is a way of giving control back and it is peer led. It would be wonderful to have it from first class which would mean there would be a longer span.
Will Professor Kelleher explain the gender difference in the rates of childhood obesity?
