============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Deputy for raising a very important issue. I will touch base with the Department of Health and the Chief Medical Officer to see if something can be done in that regard.
Many people in Ireland would benefit from vitamin D supplementation, which is very different from some supplements people take that are of no health benefit whatsoever. Vitamin D is one that can benefit people. I know a lot of work has been done with neonates and young children, and maybe not so much with older people or middle-aged people. I will check it out with the Department of Health and come back to the Deputy.
