Clare Principal Says Schools Should Receive Funding To Provide Food For Students In Need

A Clare principal is calling for grants to be made available to schools to provide meals and other forms of assistance to students in need. It comes in the wake of new research, which shows that almost three quarters of parents are worried about being able to provide basics like food, heat and electricity for their family. St Flannan's College in Ennis has been running a breakfast club for students for the last number of years to aid low-income families.
