§ Dr. Mawhinney[holding answer 18 June 1990]: The North-Eastern education and library board has published an equal opportunities policy statement indicating its commitment to the principle of equal opportunity in relation to both persons seeking to be employed by the board and persons already so employed. The board has recently made its statutory monitoring return to the Fair Employment Commission and will be reviewing its current position to determine if any corrective action is required to redress any imbalances that might be shown to be present.
