Minister for Education and Skills

Since my appointment as Minister I have received meeting requests from representatives of Right to Peace and the Irish Women Survivor's Support Network in the UK. While neither meeting has as yet taken place, I understand that one request is not being pursued at present while arrangements are being made for the other meeting.
