The objective of the School Meals Programme is to provide regular, nutritious food to children to support them in taking full advantage of the education being provided and is observed as an important component of policies to encourage school attendance and extra educational achievement.
The Hot School Meals Programme was first introduced as a small pilot scheme including just 30 schools. The Programme has since grown significantly in recent years, bringing the total number of schools gaining access, to 2,200 with effect from September next 2024.
The Department of Education has, this year, contacted all of the remaining Primary Schools who have not yet joined the Hot School Meals scheme, asking them to submit expressions of interest in commencing the provision of Hot School Meals. The responses will be reviewed with the aim of including more schools subject to available funding in Budget 2025.

Oh, happy carillon and bells of my youth, By the river Suir now sounding! How near and how dear to my heart’s truth In quiet moments never-ending.
By Cathedral bells’ sound, One day I was born, Amid musical sounds of a river That sings in my heart, In moments forlorn, And in my happiest moments ever.
To play and to school, My life was to rule, By the bells and the river determined, By green banks and bridge, By the Ursuline school, My earliest life was thus fashioned.
And, however, how often, I may wander away, Be it near or far over the ocean, I shall hear in my mind, The bells peal and play, Their carols of happy emotion.
Carolling, carolling , carolling ever, Always in tune with the song of the river, Oh, bells of my heart and my home now ringing, Ever and ever sweetly singing.
END

It is the August Bank Holiday weekend here in Thurles, Co. Tipperary and once again the towns Clothes Pods are packed to capacity, proving the towns administration has learned very little, from the same situation which occurred on the May Bank Holiday weekend, earlier this year.
Clothes Bank at junction of Mitchel Street & Borroway, Thurles. (Note: Weeds at base of Clothing bank, same indicating container not emptied for months). Pic: G. Willoughby.
However, it should be noted that one improvement has thankfully occurred; with someone from within the Thurles Municipal District officials having being identified as being able to spell. (See pictures hereunder).
“Sewing the seeds of sustainability”(See HERE) has now been corrected to “Sowing the seeds of sustainability”on all signage, at the expense of the taxpayer. Pic: G. Willoughby.
The ‘Clothes Pods’ previously provided at Aldi (Kickham Street) and Thurles Swimming pool (Cathedral Street) have both been removed, for some reason, over the past number of months, thus adding to the lack of recycling space being provided.
Surely someone on the ground, e.g. Thurles Traffic Warden etc., could be instructed to report on a daily/weekly basis. in an effort to correct this major issue, in a town which plays at encouraging tourism.
