Catherine Noone: What about the watershed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Catherine Noone: If I have anything to do with it, it will be in place.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Catherine Noone: It will need to be reviewed thoroughly to avoid a watershed. We will have no alternative but to go down the road of a public health obesity Bill or whatever way it is referred to or accurately titled. Much can be done to prevent children being subjected to this type of marketing. It is a minefield. I have a quick question for Mr. McPartlan on addition to and fortification of food. I...

Catherine Noone: I would love if some of it could be sent to me.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Catherine Noone: The Department of Health and HSE are not averse to the idea of food fortification and they were receptive when the matter was raised recently in another committee. If Mr. McPartlan has statistics on this area, I ask him to provide them.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Catherine Noone: While it is only indirectly related to childhood obesity, food fortification is clearly related to children. On another point that links in to a question I asked about advertising and fast food organisations, Kellogg's sponsors GAA cúl camps. Virtually all of the company's cereals are laden with sugar. While there is good work being done in the cúl camps, should Kellogg's...

Catherine Noone: I probably should not mention a particular member.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Catherine Noone: We will definitely agree to disagree on that. There is no question that breakfast cereals are full of sugar and it does not take a scientist to come to that conclusion. Porridge is the only cereal that does not have an amount of sugar in it, apart from natural sugars. Even the products that are sold as being healthy have a disproportionate amount of sugar.

Catherine Noone: It is amazing the facts that different sides of an argument come up with to serve their argument.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Catherine Noone: I am not saying they are not correct.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Catherine Noone: I know it is correct but it can be interpreted differently.

Catherine Noone: It can be interpreted differently.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Catherine Noone: I have no doubt Mr. McPartlan would be able to give me any amount of information on it. There are algorithms that exist online - I am back to the online issue - to target certain consumers, including algorithms that actively identify children online. Those same algorithms should be used to actively identify children and avoid advertising to them when it comes to high in fat, salt or...

Catherine Noone: It is clearly an area on which much work is needed.
- Seanad: Commencement Matters (Resumed): Obesity Strategy (25 Sep 2018)
Catherine Noone: This Commencement debate is on the topic of obesity and concerns the need for the Minister for Health to provide an update on the healthy weight for Ireland action plan. The plan is now two years old and there has been no update on its progress despite a pledge to conduct mid-term reviews and report annually. Cancer Research UK launched a campaign this week warning that obesity is set to...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters (Resumed): Obesity Strategy (25 Sep 2018)
Catherine Noone: I thank the Minister of State. I thought there would be an annual report in advance of 2019. It does not make much sense to me. There is an urgency to this issue, and the idea that we would put a plan in place in 2016 and not get any feedback on it for three years does not make sense to me. In addition, I have difficulty with the code of practice to which the Minister of State refers. By...
- Seanad: Order of Business (25 Sep 2018)
