Parents in Meath Encouraged to Have Their Say on Hot School Meals Programme – 08/01/2026

A survey on the Hot School Meals Programme in Meath has now been launched by Fine Gael, which will ensure children continue to get the most nutritious and highest-quality meals possible.Senator Linda Nelson Murray said, “Fine Gael introduced the Hot School Meals Programme in Meath because we believe no child should be held back by hunger. This next phase is about refining and improving the programme so it continues to support children’s health and education.”The survey will give parents, guardians, teachers and meal providers a direct opportunity to shape the next stage of the scheme. The online survy launched today and is asking all parents and teachers to participate in the online survey to ensure the next stage of hot school meals is even more successful. The survey will also look at issues such as food waste, the suitability of centrally cooked meals versus on-site preparation, and whether parents feel the current menus accommodate allergies or plain eating habits. Participants will also be invited to offer suggestions for improving the programme.Senator Nelson Murray joined us on The Agenda this morning to tell us more about this and about parents can get involved.
