Obviously, we are asking questions on what his Department is spending on advertising with RTÉ. There are wider questions for RTÉ but, on some level, that has been done to death, without getting hold of the answers we require in the context of providing the new trust that we hope to find. All present know the importance of public sector broadcasting, however. Are there plans to deal with the issue relating to certain processed foods and all the rest? A holistic approach is needed. The sugar tax and so on were introduced but this issue relates particularly to younger people and obesity. A cross-departmental and multi-agency approach is needed to come up with something that will work. The health of citizens is in question.
