Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan should eat his spuds in their jackets rather than putting them in the deep fat fryer. With regard to the Minister's bun, I have a coffee shop and would rather people did not touch them if they are not going to eat them. Obesity is costing over €1 billion but the last round of sports grants to sports bodies was oversubscribed by ten times. Some €26 million was available at the time. Perhaps the Minister can have a word with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to say that it would be a great investment if the State was to spend more on sport in order to fight obesity. None of the members of the Wexford Youths under-18 and under-19 teams are obese.
