I refer to my questions since April 2018 regarding an official opening for the Doubleview Primary School, which has been operating since this time last year, and I ask: (a) has the school contacted the Minister's office regarding an official opening date and ceremony; (b) has a date been set: (i) if yes to (b), what is that date; and (ii) if no to (b), why not; and (c) if the Minister and the Parliamentary Secretary are too busy to hold an official opening ceremony, is the Minister prepared to deputise the local Member, the Hon Liza Harvey MLA, to open it on her behalf?
