I propose to take Questions Nos. 212, 218 and 219 together.

I can confirm that Department officials met with the management of the school concerned in September 2006. My Department had engaged frequently with the school in question from 2003 onwards arising from concerns identified by my Department's Inspectorate and from other concerns that were brought to my Department's attention, and those concerns informed the business of the meeting in September 2006. My Department requested copies of the audited accounts of the school in question in June 2005 for internal examination in the Department and I can also confirm that matters relating to the school accounts were discussed at that meeting.
