Hot Meals Scheme
The Board of Management of Scoil Íde has selected The LunchBag.ie as the provider for the Hot School Meals Scheme once again for school year 2024-2025.
Each child in Scoil Íde will receive an “activation code” when they first start in the school with instructions on how to order free hot meals. Children will begin to receive their meals within a few days of registering with The Lunchbag.ie.
How it works…..
- Download the child-friendly app
- Select any allergens, dietary or cultural requirements
- Place your order up to 36 hours in advance
- Lunch is handmade in The Lunchbag’s facility in Nenagh.
- Lunch is delivered directly to Scoil Íde fresh each day!
- Children bring home their hot meal is a special Lunchbag sealed lunchbox so that parents and guardians get a sense of how much or little their child is eating. They can then make an informed decision about continued participation in the scheme.

Latest Update: October 25th, 2024.
We’re excited to share some exciting updates to our menu, reflecting valuable feedback from parents, school staff, and students. Our team has been working hard to ensure these changes meet the nutritional guidelines while also delivering more of the variety and options that children enjoy.
Here’s what’s coming next term:
A tasty and healthy Sweet & Sour Chicken will be replacing the Chicken Paella. This veg-filled addition was carefully crafted with hidden chicory to give its sweet taste. What’s more – it’s completely allergen free!
Our beloved Chicken Curry Wrap, with over one quarter veg, will be returning to replace the BBQ Beef Burrito. Please note that this item contains dairy.
For schools that requested them, Goujons will be back on the menu! Depending on your previous request, they will be served 1, 3, or 5 days a week. From Monday to Thursday, they’ll be accompanied by potato cubes and our delicious rainbow 11. For schools that didn’t vote, we will default the goujons to 3 days a week, unless instructed otherwise.
To spice up our Friday menu, the beloved Sausage Baguette will be available. A new Vegetable Pizza will also be a popular addition, with higher wholegrain content for a healthy boost.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to perfect our school lunch service, and remember, we’re always here to answer any questions you may have about these changes.
