Text

I thank the First Minister for her answer. Does she agree that, while housing is the responsibility of the Housing Executive, integration is very much her Department's responsibility? While the work being done in TEO is welcome, there are issues with the governance, and people are falling through the gaps, specifically children who have been in Mears housing. They get moved to a different school because they have gone into Housing Executive accommodation, before finally getting their house. It is incredibly disruptive and is impacting on integration, and more needs to be done about that.
