COVID-19 has had a serious impact on the roll-out of a programme to make Offaly people healthier, a council district meeting was told.
However, Dermot Egan, Healthy Ireland Offaly coordinator, said action had nonetheless taken place across a number of fronts under the State-funded scheme.
A Healthy Offaly Plan was adopted for the county in 2018 by the Offaly Local Community and Development Committee and a Healthy Offaly Team was established in March of that year with a €247,000 budget.
