Answer

My Department’s response to the Northern Ireland Audit Office report on Managing the Schools’ Estate, and the subsequent Public Accounts Committee hearing, will be set out in the Memorandum of Reply (MoR) to the Minister of Finance.

Once the MoR has been reviewed by the Minister of Finance, it will be presented to the Assembly and uploaded to the Department of Finance website.
