Text

The Member and his colleagues have had me in Upper Bann on a number of occasions, and Portadown College is one of the schools that I was able to visit. It was one of the seven post-primary schools that I announced could proceed to the appointment of an integrated consultant team. In the coming weeks, that ICT should be appointed. That will allow the planning for that project to commence.
