I am shocked to discover that obesity and related illnesses killed up to 2,500 Irish people last year. This society is not doing enough to ensure this illness is cured and the Government allocated a paltry €3 million to tackling it. The House should debate the issue because it needs to be addressed. Many young people are dying needlessly because not enough attention is paid to this area.
