Text

I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. The appointment has taken a staggeringly long time, given that we have known about the vacancy since the restoration of the institutions. Can the deputy First Minister give us any sense of a date for an appointment? I know that, in Committees, including the Education Committee, there have been multiple queries about public appointments, but there has been no mechanism for scrutinising that.
