48. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will make recommendations and provide support to schools to include certain advertisements in their school journals that promote health and well-being of young persons; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2000/17]

I am reviewing the activity of my Department in the area of Wellbeing. I shall ask that the Deputy's suggestion be considered in that context. I am of course conscious that the content and procurement of school journals and resources is a matter for individual schools. This provides schools with the flexibility to select the resources that are most appropriate to the needs of their students.
