Introduction
Parents usually know what is best for their children. That is why we asked four Irish parents to give us the benefits of their experience with children and nutrition.
Meet the Parents’ Panel
Mariel Cotter
Mariel is a mother of two girls from Limerick. She and her husband own and run a business importing and selling food for people with special dietary requirements. Mariel’s own daughter has special dietary requirements and Mariel herself is coeliac so she would like McDonald’s to consider their needs when developing new menu options. Dairy quality scout.
Martina O’Reilly
Martina is self employed and works in her family business in Cork. She is interested in children’s diet and has worked as a National Champion of a children’s charity. She wants McDonald’s to listen to her opinion about a number of topics including food and staff. Dairy quality scout.
Adrienne Byrne
Adrienne is a registered child minder with a considerable interest in children’s diet. She was previously one of three national winners in the Birds Eye Expert Mum Nutrition Mission. Adrienne sees it as her responsibility, as a childminder and a parent, to provide healthy meals. Beef quality scout.
Adele Reddin
Adele is a mother of three boys and one girl and is currently on parental leave. A mother from Meath, Adele joined the panel because she wanted to have an active input into the selection of food for children. Beef quality scout.
