The Deputy is correct that the review group has met. The technical group is working on specific issues in the programme for Government, such as those pertaining to the school of closest proximity, for example, as well as other aspects. It is my hope and expectation that we will have an interim report in the short term and there will be scope to conduct a more in-depth report later. I am mindful, however, of the need to progress this issue as expeditiously as possible. All things being equal, and it will be appreciated that Covid-19 has not helped, we are doing everything we can to achieve the target of having an interim report in the short term. That is my objective.
