Yummy! Four Longford primary schools added to Hot Meals programme
Nutritious hot meals will now be provided in 2,200 primary schools across the country
Four Longford national schools - Forgney, Killasonna, St Columba’s and Colehill - have been approved for the Hot School Meals Programme from this September.
Making the announcement, Minister for Social Protection, Heather Humphreys TD said, “I have grown the Hot School Meals Programme from a small pilot of just 30 schools to a nationwide programme which now provides nutritious hot meals in 2,200 primary schools across the country.
“My ambition now is to finish the job as part of this year’s Budget and ensure that every primary school in Ireland is providing hot school meals in 2025.
“I firmly believe the roll-out of hot school meals to every primary school in the country will be one of the lasting legacies of this Government.”
