As a parting comment, representatives of the local authorities will appear before the committee soon. We have talked extensively about no-fry zones. However, it is nonsensical talking about a no-fry zone near a school when the school is providing junk food within the school. I would be very grateful if Ms Sexton and Mr. Cusack could report our comments to their colleagues and have this as an agenda item at some meeting soon. It would just take a directive from the Department of Education and Skills.
