Minister, do you agree that all minority languages are important in Northern Ireland, and that there is a clear focus by some elements in the House to pick out one language and not focus on the clear agreements that were made that all languages would be treated fairly and equitably here in Northern Ireland?

No, because I do not think that that would be a good use of time. I have given examples of why, sometimes, meetings cannot happen. With regard to some of the social inclusion strategies, I have made it clear that I wanted to set out my Department's way forward before we committed to different meetings. Remember, of…

Recently, at an all-party group (APG), women's groups voiced that they were saddened that they had not had the chance to meet you yet. I understand that, as a Minister, your diary is tight for time. Will you consider publishing the criteria by which you decide whether to accept a meeting?

Yes. So far, I have accepted 395 invitations from various organisations and individuals under the remit of my Department. It is important to put that on record, because there has been a lot of controversy about this over the past weeks. It is not possible for me to meet everybody. Sometimes there are diary clashes;…

I cannot answer questions on behalf of the Department of Education. Of course, if intimidation is happening, regardless of the situation, scenario or where it takes place, I will always condemn it. However, that issue was not raised with me during the meeting to which the Member refers, because it does not fall within…

Thank you, Minister. It has been reported that the Loyalist Community Council (LCC), which the Education Minister and you recently met, has raised opposition to Scoil na Seolta in east Belfast.
