Five groups in County Tipperary will be providing a New Summer Meals Pilot Programme for local children.
It’s intended to ensure that children across Ireland receive a good meal daily when schools are closed for the summer holidays.

Tipperary ETB’s Youth Work Tipperary will be overseeing the scheme.
Hot meals will be provided every day at Thurles and Templemore Youth Projects, Tipperary Town Youth Project, North Tipperary Traveller Youth Project, Rural Outreach Project and Fethard & Killenaule Youth Project.
This incentive was launched by Minister for Education and Youth, Helen McEntee, in a bid to tackle holiday hunger across the country and is part of the Government’s wider plan to end child poverty.
