My understanding from the correspondence is that Caranua is now within Department of Education. The Department has taken over its function. It is awaiting legislation on the wind-up of Caranua, which all of us here have a responsibility to get through the House. Members of this committee were hoping to see that legislation earlier this year. We need to start looking for that legislation will be brought forward. In fairness the Secretary General has mentioned this to us on a number of occasions. He says the Deparment has engaged with the with three parties concerned. I propose that we note and publish the correspondence. In this case, any correspondence we send back has to be the Secretary General, because the Department has taken over that role.
