Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

We do not mind what schools call these clubs. They can call them Internet clubs or whatever. If the meal is being provided, any positive way to get children into the clubs is all right with us and, I am sure, with the Department of Social and Family Affairs once the money is used properly. As the Deputy said, there are schools which offer lunch, or a dinner, as well as breakfast. Last week, I was in a school in Athy where every child gets a healthy break — a healthy milk drink or some variation of it, such as a yogurt. While I was there, the young girls were having shepherd's pie, which was beautifully laid out. I could get a waft of the beautiful shepherd's pie.
