Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

I will consider this and revert to the Senator in due course.

Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill welcomed the allocation of €90 million by the EU Commissioner with responsibility for agriculture to tackle childhood obesity. Senator Geraldine Feeney has sought progress on combatting eating disorders. I have no difficulty allocating time to debate these matters in the autumn.

Senator John Paul Phelan highlighted matters of concern on the Adjournment involving the Department of Health and Children. It is a reasonable request and I will pass on the views of Senators to the Minister for Health and Children today.
