Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. D.O. O'Connor:

That is correct. Currently we have a health homework journal that is inserted into the homework journal. Could we have a standard homework journal that includes health in it and is rolled out to all the schools, for example? It could be issued by the Department of Education and Skills and every school would use the same one, but it would be intrinsically included in the homework journal so it would become part of the conversation all the time.
