Health Awareness and Physical Fitness: Motion
Senator Eamonn Coghlan clearly stated that he wants to deal with this matter in bite-sized chunks. However, I do not believe that what is intended will cost a fortune. There is no reason for it to cost very much because as the Senator stated, much of what is involved is mere common sense. If we do not make the report's recommendations become reality, sooner rather than later, we will be faced with a health bill that will be ten times greater than the cost of implementing the changes to which I refer. Sadly, people in Ireland are not great at being proactive. That is evidenced by the events of recent years. Let us get ahead of the curve for once.
