Answer
The cross-departmental Steering Group for the research project met on 10th June to discuss the draft final report. Departmental officials are in the process of briefing me on the outcome of that meeting. I will shortly be writing to the Minister of Education to apprise him of the research findings and to provide advice regarding implementation of the recommendations. The report will be published on the departmental website once these steps have been completed.
