The OBC is expected to be presented to my Department later this month for assessment.”
Mr Swann added: “The Ballymoney Campus, or ‘Tech’, has always played a major role in the life of the borough’s educational provision. I urge the Minister to give a cast iron guarantee that the Campus’s future is 100% secure.”
