Ms Margaret Lowndes:

As a group, we had engagement with the NCSE and we have met Mr. John Kearney but I would not say it is adequate. The NCSE is listening to our concerns but we need action from it. We can all go in and say our area does not have enough of this or that we need this and that, but what the NCSE actually will do is what matters. I would not say it is adequate. They do engage but it is a box-ticking exercise in that a group is met, which will have them quiet for the next six months and then the next group comes forward. Mr. John Kearney and his team need to step up to the mark now and start putting in place proper procedures.
