Michael Ring

Ceist:

1353 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the schools nationwide that are getting school breakfasts and lunch clubs. [20031/03]

Details of the 214 schools which operate breakfast and lunch clubs under my Department's school meals, local projects, scheme are being forwarded to the Deputy. This year an additional €2 million was made available for the expansion of the programme which brought the total funding to €4.37 million.

As many as 388 schools also participate in the urban school meals scheme which operates in conjunction with certain local authorities. Details of these schools are not available as the scheme is administered by the local authorities.
