Jerry Buttimer (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

It is important to have cross-party and cross-sector collaboration on this. The Minister is correct to say that no single measure will address the issue of obesity and the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children, of which Deputies Kelleher, Ó Caoláin and Regina Doherty are members, will prioritise this issue in the next month or so. I agree that people are entitled to know what they are eating and the calorie content of that food. People must also be responsible for their choices and individual actions.
