This is an absolutely brilliant scheme and it is really helping many children and families around the country. I compliment the Minister on that. Has the Department issued any guidelines regarding the quality of the food and consistency of quality? Are any guidelines issued on the packaging the food comes in? If a child does not avail of the meal - we all know children do not always eat what is put in front of them - is there an issue around that with respect to food not being used or being left over? I have heard reports that in some instances it can be quite considerable.
