Health Awareness and Physical Fitness: Motion
We have made a sustained effort to teach our children about the importance of recycling. When Members go home at night, they will be informed by their children and grandchildren as to the bins into which different items of rubbish should be put. They literally boss us around and this has worked. Thanks to my 11 year old daughter, Molly, I recycle everything. If we allow Senator Eamonn Coghlan to take his bite-sized chunks in respect of the fitness programme, perhaps we adults might also begin to profit. When I finished discussing this matter with the Senator last evening, I was terrified and I have decided to begin either running, skipping or dancing this weekend. Imagine the endless benefits we could reap for successive generations by teaching school-going children about the importance of diet, fitness and health. I strongly encourage Members to support the motion.
