List of schools below
Students in 13 primary schools within the Sligo/Leitrim electoral area are to receive hot meals under the Hot School Meals Programme.
Originally launched as a pilot, it has now been extended nationally with over 35,000 students benefiting and will replace the current cold lunch option.
Schools are expected to provide at least two meal options a day, a vegetarian/vegan option and to cater for children’s religious and cultural dietary requirements.
6 schools in Sligo, 5 in Leitrim and 1 each in South Donegal and North Roscommon are part of the extended programme.
Speaking to OceanFM News, Minister of State at the Department of health and Sligo/Leitrim TD, Frank Feighan says the pilot programme had a positive effect on children.
