I could have cut it off if I had copped it first, but that was it. They were in the bin then. I had to get up to Centra and buy chicken rolls. That was €7 lost on the day, so I am self-motivated. My question was about the schools that missed out on the April 2023 deadline. Like Deputy Ó Laoghaire, I want to see this in all schools. I have always been of the opinion, and it has long been Green Party policy, that when the State has them, we should feed them. It has a huge impact in areas of disadvantage. It is right and proper that we focus on those schools first but I want to see every school in the land having a hot school meal available. When will the next round be for schools to apply?
