Written Answers. - Residential Care Institution Diets.

Roger T. Garland

Ceist:

109 Mr. Garland asked the Minister for Education in view of the recognition of vegetarian meals as a more healthy alternative, if she will monitor the availability of vegan and vegetarian diets in residential care institutions including meals with wholegrains; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Careful monitoring is carried out by my Department to ensure that a balanced and nutritious diet is provided in each of the four special centres for young offenders. Meals with wholegrains can and are being provided.
