Answer
My Officials have been engaged with the Education Authority and Translink to consider mitigation options which minimise impact on school pupils since August. Direct contact with Schools about suspension and mitigation measures continues.
Officials regularly engage with elected representatives and community groups, the most recent meetings took place on 11 March and 30 September 2024.
