Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 June 2004
54 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of hours sleep received by the average person here; if this represents a decrease on previous generations; his views on the problem of sleep deficit; the action he intends to take to address this problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that I am not aware of any research indicating that Irish people are sleeping less and therefore I am not in a position to comment on the matter further. However, the National Health Promotion Strategy 2000 — 2005 identifies strategic aims and objectives that contribute to the overall health improvement of the Irish population.
