§ Jane KennedySince the publication of the Costello Report, I have met with representatives of the UUP, DUP, SDLP, Sinn Fein, the Alliance Party and the Governing Bodies Association. I have received a request for a meeting with representatives of the Catholic Bishops of Northern Ireland and I hope to meet with them in the very near future. Officials have been involved in discussions with members of the Association of Head Teachers in Secondary Schools and with post-primary school principals in the Belfast and Southern Education and Library Boards and shortly with those in the South Eastern Education and Library Board.
