Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. I asked about the permanent secretary, but I will accept what the Minister said for now. It is good to see that he is buddies with my colleague Pat Sheehan: they are on speaking terms again. Will the Minister confirm whether the permanent secretary will attend the Education Committee tomorrow to answer questions on the Minister's diversion of funding intended for Iontaobhas na Gaelscolaíochta and the murky circumstances surrounding the proposed £30,000 for a football pitch in Richhill?
