Text
From the Executive Office Committee's point of view, we are very concerned that we have not been given this information to date. Why has it taken over a year for us to be made aware that the junior Minister did not attend that event in that official capacity? It could have put to bed a lot of the confusion and mistrust that the situation has created.
