Mary Henry (Independent)

I support Senator Quinn's call for a debate on lifestyle. We all have different interests and come from different walks of life and we may be able to make positive suggestions as to what we can do about improving lifestyle here, particularly for children, because the increase in obesity among children is very substantial. I have asked Senator Ó Murchú previously if he could get Irish dancing back into schools for ten minutes each morning. There may be other things that people can suggest. Children are fatter than they have ever been and it is sad to see.
