Sir, – Further to Una Mullally’s article (“Getting hot under the collar about ice cream vans”, Opinion & Analysis, June 16th) regarding my recent comments in the Seanad, I feel the need to set the record straight.
I brought up the issue of ice cream vans in the Seanad because when a parent from Wexford raised the topic with me, it struck a chord. The omnipresent chime of the ice cream van at this time of year is just one very small example of the pressures facing parents who are trying to keep their children away from sugar-laden treats. Obesity is not a trivial matter and it is certainly not something I would ever attempt to make light of.
I know all too well that it can’t be solved by regulating ice cream vans; that we need more education; that parents must say no; that children need to be more active; and most of all that a so-called nanny state is not in any way progressive.
Despite taking some flak over the last week, I will continue to talk about obesity and to suggest ideas – be they big or small – on how we can go about reducing it.
Yours, etc,
Seantor Catherine Noone

“My new wife Brenda and I went for a tub of ice cream in Teddy’s [Dún Laoghaire] on Saturday [our wedding day] and got more than we bargained for…
Hope he paid.
Harrumph.

My brother lives in Skerries [Co Dublin]. While most towns have ice cream vans that drive around playing fun music to get your attention… Skerries has a potato van :)
Oh.
