爱尔兰的热餐计划进一步扩大，自2024年9月起，又有168所小学加入该计划，将为额外的2.9万名小学生提供营养丰富的热餐。
爱尔兰社会保障部长希瑟·汉弗莱斯今日宣布了这一扩展计划，至此爱尔兰全国近2,200所小学的34.5万名学生将受益于该计划。
汉弗莱斯表示这项计划自2019年启动以来，已经从最初的30所学校的试点项目扩展到全国范围。
热餐计划的目的是为学生提供营养丰富的定期餐食，帮助他们更好地利用所接受的教育。社会保障部为该计划提供资金，各学校负责按照国家立法和欧盟采购指令，公开、公平、透明地选择供应商。
今年，社会保障部已联系所有尚未加入热餐计划的小学，邀请他们提交加入意向书。这些意向书将被审查，并计划在2025年的预算中纳入更多学校。
汉弗莱斯表示，她自担任社会保障部长以来，已大幅扩展热餐计划，现在的目标是在今年的预算中确保2025年爱尔兰所有小学都能提供热餐。她相信，这将成为本届政府的一个持久遗产。
