Róisín Shortall: So maybe just over the past few years. The State-funded ones were referred to in the report but there are not any figures. For, say, the past ten years, Mr. O'Connell might provide some detail of what ones have been fully funded by the State.

Róisín Shortall: I think the experience with alcohol has shown that working with the industry only holds you back. The industry has a different priority. The priority of industry is to maximise profits, not to deal with health matters. Experience tells us that the industry should not be involved when it comes to public health considerations.
