asked the Minister for Social Welfare whether he has considered the proposal to extend the free meal scheme to all schools in congested areas in Kerry; and, if so, with what result.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Schools Free Meal Scheme.
I am not aware of any proposal to extend the free meal scheme to all schools in congested areas in Kerry. I have, however, been considering the possibility of an extension of the scope of the present scheme and I am at present examining the matter.
The Deputy will appreciate that any such extension of scope would require fresh legislation.
