David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

I asked the Minister about evaluation of these programmes. Has an evaluation been carried out? Does she plan to expand these programmes to all schools? Will she agree it is an indictment of our society that there is such a need and such poverty that children come to school hungry? What other plans has she, in conjunction with other Ministers, to deal with poverty, in particular food poverty, in schools and elsewhere in society?
