Hot School Meals,Primary Schools,Dublin

The Irish government is determined to ensure that every child attending a primary school receives a hot school lunch by 2025. Catholic primary schools in Dublin are switching to multidenominational patronage. Schools that have not yet joined the hot school meals programme can express their interest and be enlisted in the coming months.

Primary schools which have not yet joined the scheme can express an interest and they will be enlisted in the coming months. Speaking ahead of his first Cabinet committee on housing as Taoiseach, Mr Harris said he wanted to look at what could be done in terms of practical measures to support housing supply.

The Taoiseach also said he would not be providing “a running commentary” on every latest budget idea following comments from the Minister for Finance Michael McGrath at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis over the weekend.
