Senator Warfield mentioned the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill. We should have a public health obesity or sugar Bill or something along those lines and take similar measures when it comes to advertising junk food and other foods that have a high sugar, fat and salt content. In the overall context, does Mr. Regan believe such a measure would be effective? For example, parents have mentioned to me food items their children have been given when they to clubs. I am not referring to only GAA events but to many different events.
