I have been speaking for about 30 seconds.
Ireland's only dedicated childhood obesity treatment programme at Temple Street Hospital has had a 400% per cent increase in referrals of children under five year in just one year. More recent findings by another group show that children under 15 years are showing early signs of heart disease and the build up of plaque in their arteries. This is very frightening. I would welcome a debate.
Time seems to fly when I am on my feet.
