Just 20 Kildare Schools Join Holiday Hunger Scheme Supporting Vulnerable Schoolchildren

Meath, which is similar in population size, had 25 schools funded with €26,733.

Kildare has received just under €20,000 under the Holiday Hunger Pilot, a summer meals initiative supporting vulnerable schoolchildren. 

Only 20 schools in the county are taking part - placing Kildare 15th nationally.

Meath, which is similar in population size, had 25 schools funded with €26,733. 

The pilot is part of a €1.3 million government programme rolled to address holiday hunger among children with special educational needs and those at risk of disadvantage.

The pilot will be reviewed later this year.
