Mr. David Ruddy:

Prior to the school food lunch scheme, the poorest children's parents were buying the lunches in delis across the road from schools. They had a difficulty managing their finances. The children came in with the most unhealthy of possible lunches. Now, at least every child has a healthy lunch. Deputy Conaghan asked about the experience of other countries and kitchens. Our schools are not set up to do that, but I am happy to say that if one wants to see a Rolls-Royce kitchen the members will see it at a school in Cherry Orchard. There are three Dublin South-Central Deputies here and they may know the school I am talking about.
