Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Michael O'Keeffe:

There are restrictions in the general code. I spoke about that earlier. Not more than 25% of total advertising or ad breaks can be for that type of material. There cannot be a massive splurge of advertising but such companies are permitted to advertise in programmes that are not children's programmes.
