flag A 2026 Irish survey finds most parents dissatisfied with school meals due to poor variety, quality, and nutrition, with declining demand and ongoing concerns over cost and access.

flag A 2026 survey of Ireland’s hot school meals programme, based on 8,000 responses, reveals widespread parent dissatisfaction over limited food variety, poor presentation, and low nutritional quality, with only one-third viewing meals as nutritious. flag Many prefer cold options, citing higher consumption rates, while concerns grow over uneaten meals, inconsistent quality, and high costs for transport and storage. flag Despite plans to expand to secondary schools, issues like large portion sizes, rural access challenges, and a 35% drop in demand in 5th class raise doubts. flag A nutritional review is underway, with findings expected by mid-2026, as officials stress existing standards and urge parents to report concerns.
