Campaigners have welcomed a £12.6 million fund to feed hungry children but questioned why 100,000 kids in Northern Ireland fear going hungry.
Children’s Commissioner Koulla Yiasouma and Graham Gault, from the National Association of Head Teachers, were reacting to news that Education Minister Michelle McIlveen is to fund free school meals for pupils throughout the summer.
The announcement was broadly welcomed, but with some involved in education saying it highlighted the poverty teachers and principals deal with on a daily basis.
