Ireland overhauls free school meals after €4.2m over-allocation

Ireland's free school meals programme will be restructured from next year, requiring suppliers to follow a standardised menu and improve nutritional content, following a €4.2m over-allocation of funds. The change signals a policy shift toward cost control and nutritional standards, but the exact mechanism for recovering the over-allocation and its impact on suppliers remains unclear. This is a domestic fiscal and policy adjustment with limited direct market impact.
