My Department is currently considering the output of the recent Additional Nutrition pilot (formerly known as the Hot Meals Pilot). The learning from this pilot will inform future policy around the provision of substantial, nutritious meals in early learning and care services in areas of disadvantage.

I would like to thank Ballymore Community Preschool and the other services that participated in the pilot and contributed to its success. I look forward to announcing more specifics on the EPM over the coming year.

It is unclear from the question if they preschool has also submitted an application for the school meals scheme . This scheme is administered by the Department of Social Protection and any queries with regard to school meals should be directed to that Department
