Advertising ban of unhealthy foods to kids does 'not go far enough'

Irish Heart Foundation has said that commercial interests have been put before the health of Irish children in the revised code from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI).

The foundation has expressed "major concern and disappointment" that the BAI's recent ban on advertising of unhealthy food to children does not ban the advertising of foods such as French fries, crisps, confectionary, biscuits and sugary sweetened drinks until 9pm.
