Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Michael O'Keeffe:

My point is that what we regulate up to now is based on a percentage, but the issue the members are raising is a programme that has a large number of children watching. Sports programmes would never get anywhere near 50% but we know many children watch them. Does that mean one introduces it there? They are the questions we will be consulting on in the review we will undertake.
